The Huttu-Ukko Art Route offers a unique experience high on the fells of Finnish Lapland, within the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Located near the PyhäExpress scenic lift at the peak of Kultakero, the trail was created in collaboration with local artist Tapio Uusitalo and Pyhä Ski Resort. The art installations are inspired by the area's history, lifestyle, myths, and beliefs.
