스칸디나비아 산맥 최고의 러닝 경로

Prestvannet (Prestvatn), on the island of Tromsøya: a small urban lake located at the highest point of the city, originally created as a water reservoir in 1867 and now part of a protected natural area much loved by locals. In February, it looks like a silent Arctic basin: a frozen surface, compact snow along the shoreline, birch trees and conifers covered in white, and low winter light with bluish Nordic tones that make the landscape feel almost monochromatic. Around it runs an easy loop of about 1.7–1.9 km, perfect for a short but very scenic winter walk. It is worth visiting on foot in this season because it offers real nature without leaving the city, a simple trail, crisp air, outstanding photogenic scenery, and, on clear evenings, even a good chance to look for the Northern Lights. In winter, it is best enjoyed from the paths around the lake: the municipality notes that the ice may have uneven thickness in some areas.

Fantastic 360-degree views, spectacular! Steep sections along the trail, especially in wet and snowy conditions, should be enjoyed with caution!

Do NOT go here without spikes when its snowy. Nevertheless, its beautiful!

Two shelters in the picnic area. Public restrooms are nearby, but they close at night.

Indeed a very nice fjord on the way to/from the beach. Met a friendly local on the way back to the pier and we had a nice informative chat. Be prepared for a picnic if the café is closed.

This hut on the way up Saana has a fireplace and offers decent shelter. It's a good spot to take stock before a run up to the summit.

This viewpoint on the trail to Saana provides excellent views across Ylinen Kilpisjärvi. From here, you can gaze across three great Scandinavian nations: Finland, Sweden and Norway.

An iconic and shapely peak that's held sacred by Sámi people, Saana rises on the border between Finland, Sweden and Norway. To celebrate a century of Finland's independence, the mountain was lit in blue light in Decemeber 2017, the largest such illumination in the world.
