Kaltimon kierto

Those craving challenging fell climbs will enjoy the clearly marked 25 km Kaltimon kierto route. The journey includes many forest road sections and leisurely trails, but in some places the walker will need to really engage four-wheel drive to reach the most stunning scenic summits. The route circles Kaltimojärvi, climbing seven fells, the highest being 268 meters high Mustavaara. The most breathtaking views open from the 223-meter-high Suppuravaara.

A natural starting point for the trip is the Eno end, i.e. the southern edge of the route. Here the beautiful lean-to of Suppuralampi is conveniently located roughly halfway through the hike. Going clockwise, the toughest sections come during the first half of the route. The route's other lean-to at Loira has scenery that is less impressive than Suppuralampi.

On the Kaltimon kierto route, you can experience both fell landscapes and the atmosphere of lush creek valleys. Logging clearings dot the route in many places. In addition to a one-night hike, the route is also well suited as a day quick march destination for experienced walkers craving vertical meters. The Suppuralampi lean-to and Suppuravaara form a nice point destination for a day trip for those seeking a one-day nature adventure.
