Tunnemme tunturin./

Pallaksen Pöllöt ovat tunturioppaita Pallastunturin alueella. Toimimme suurella sydämellä ja ammattitaidolla tunturihiihdon ja vapaalaskemisen äärellä. Noin kahdenkymmenen hiihdonopettajan, "pöllön", toiminta-alue käsittää avotunturin, tykkylumiset metsät ja ruskan värjäämät suot.

 

Vapaalaskuretket

Järjestämme vapaalaskuretkiä vahvaa aluetuntemusta hyödyntäen  parhaille laskulumille! Idea toimii opaskohtaisesti, eli voit varata oppaan puoleksi tai koko päiväksi - tai liittyä takuulähdölle varaamalla paikan vain itsellesi. Kesän laskutapahtuma Offwknd huipentaa kevään vuosittain. 

 

Tunturihiihtoretket
Tunturihiihtoretket suuntautuvat sään huomioon ottaen avotunturiin tai metsiin latujen ulkopuolelle. 

 

Pöllöihin eivät kuulu vain hiihdonopettajat, vaan sen siipien alle lukeutuvat kaikki he, jotka kokevat löytävänsä Pallakselta ainutlaatuisen elämäntavan.

Uutisia! 

The cooperation between Pallas Owls and Lapland Hotels Pallas has ended in December 2024 by decision of Lapland Hotels. We are very sorry about the changes taking place at Pallas Hotel, but it is important to know that Owls will continue to operate, grow, innovate and build fell culture in the future.

 

New! Pallas Owls are piloting traditional owl weeks at Jeris Lakeside Resort on weekends Fri-Sun 4. - 6.4., 11. - 13.4. and 18. - 20.4. This includes morning information, after-ski, sauna and evening programs. If you spend a longer time at the hotel, you can join all the owl trips and outings from Jeris Hotel in a great way!

PÖLLÖJEN SULAT

60 vuotta tunturia! 

Amppa Heinonen perusti Pallaksen Pöllöt vuonna 1965. Siitä lähtien pöllöt ovat luonneet Pallakselle tunturikulttuuria aidolla läsnäololla ja keskittymällä tunturikokemusten jakamiseen. Olemme innovoineet ja löytäneet uusia tulokulmia tunturiluontoon. Historiamme on kaunis ja se on läsnä joka päivä tarinoissa, joita kerromme. 

60-vuotisjuhlia juhlimme tänä vuonna Offwkndissä toukokuussa! Varaa paikkasi mukaan! 

Vuoden hiihtokoulu 2019

Vuoden hiihtokoulu -palkinto jaetaan Suomen Hiihtokeskusyhdistyksen toimesta vuosittain erityiselle toimijalle alalla. Vuonna 2019 Pallaksen Pöllöt vastaanottivat palkinnon. Juhlat jatkuvat siihen asti, kunnes seuraavan kerran vastaanotamme saman palkinnon!

What makes the ski weeks of the Owls of Pallas unique is the fact that the Owls do not ski around the fells for weeks on end; instead, every Saturday they hand over the responsibility to the next devoted and professional Owl. This way, each week gets a personalised touch in terms of activities, tour destinations and sense of humour.

 

We consider this to be one of the most important aspects of the Owl life.

Fell skiing in Pallastunturi

Here in Pallas, we measure skiing in experiences rather than in kilometres. Our mission is to take our guests outside the marked trails, to places they would not otherwise visit. If the weather permits, we will most likely choose a destination in the open fells, whereas if it snows, we usually head to the beautiful old-growth forests under the fells.

We believe that there is no weather too poor for skiing in Pallas. The Lappish nature, be it under a bright sun or falling snow, is guaranteed to surprise the visitors. Our tours do not require steel-edge skis, but normal cross-country skis are sufficient. However, if you have ski poles with a large basket, bring them along.

Daily ski tours are free for everyone. If you look for a private fell guide experience, you can book it online.

Our Owl guides will lead you to the fells along reindeer paths and through forests. The tours vary from few-hour trips around the nearby region to hikes of several hours. Our tours are always planned to suit the participating enthusiastic hikers! See our autumn programme and book accommodation!

living in the fells

Communality means warmth and sensitivity in the future. The Owls live in the moment and provide visitors with warm and unforgettable moments, both within the hotel walls and especially outside them. Our aim is to greet the arriving guests with a hug and wave them off as their taillights disappear from sight. If we are not always at the door, let this serve as a description of how we feel about all Pallas visitors.
