Halti, Mountain summit at Finnish-Norwegian border

The mountain consists of ancient rock formations with a primary peak at 1361 meters and a secondary Finnish summit at 1324 meters.

The mountain area has been part of traditional Sami territories for centuries, with reindeer herding activities continuing to the present day.

The name derives from Finnish mythology, where 'haltija' refers to nature spirits believed to inhabit significant natural features in the landscape.

The standard hiking route starts from Kilpisjärvi, requiring a 55-kilometer trek through varied terrain with multiple stream crossings and rocky sections.

The Norwegian government considered gifting their section of the mountain to Finland in 2017 to mark the Finnish centenary of independence.
