Vihreä keino offers noiseless and zero emission boat transport over the lake Ounasjärvi.
During the hiking season (appr. June to October), Vihreä keino offers passenger transport from or to Hetta over the lake Ounasjärvi. Crossing the lake is about 1km and takes ca. 15 - 20 minutes.
With our muscle power only we transport passengers with a traditional wooden rowing boat.
We have two rowing boats available and can transport up to 4 people at the same time.

1 person: 20€ per trip
2 people: 30€ per trip
The prices are for the trip between Hetta harbor and the hiking route to Pyhäkero/Pallas-Yllästunturi national park. For transport to other destinations please give us a call. Discount offered for hitch-hikers and long distance cyclists.
We only accept cash or bank transfer. (There is a cash machine in front of the grocery shop, ca. 200m from the harbor in Hetta.)
Please note that we can NOT transport passengers at strong winds, and that the amount of passengers per trip is limited to 2 people per boat at a time.
