Muonio
Multifaceted Muonio

At the Olos and Pallas Ski Resorts, you can speed down ski slopes or peacefully wander along ski trails. The distance to nearby larger ski resorts, Ylläs and Levi, is not far either.

Admire the journey of the sun in the horizon on top of the fells. Muonio’s culture stems from local stories and handicraft traditions.
