Hiking
Great views in all directions. From here you can easily see the Noitatunturi (540m), which is about 30km away, and the neighboring canyon (both also recommended destinations).

Hiking
The Luosto consists of several peaks and together with the Pyhätunturi fell, which adjoins to the south-east, forms a 35-kilometre-long mountain range that clearly stands out from the flat surroundings. The highest peak of Luosto is called Ukko-Luosto. It can be reached via a staircase with 670 steps. Formed two billion years ago, Luosto is hard quartzite that has resisted erosion and been eroded into a rounded fell by Ice Age glaciers. (Wikipedia)
