Hammastunturi

Hammastunturi rises to 531 meters within a vast wilderness region between Urho Kekkonen National Park and Lemmenjoki National Park in northern Finland.

Prior to the Inari-Pokka road construction, this mountain belonged to one of Finland's largest unexplored territories, marking a significant period of isolation.

The mountain area maintains strong connections to Sámi traditions, where indigenous communities practice reindeer herding throughout the surrounding wilderness territory.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the Rautujärvi Day-use Hut providing basic shelter and wood-burning facilities for visiting travelers.

The mountain marks the northern boundary where spruce forests naturally transition into pine forests, creating two distinct ecological zones in the landscape.
