Valtavaaran huiputus trail is about 6 km long and follows Karhunkierros Trail from Ruka to the day trip hut (old fire guard's cabin) at the top of Valtavaara hill. From the top of Valtavaara the trail descends to Campfire hut "kota" and returns to Ruka along the eastern side of Valtavaara Hill.
The uphill hike along Karhunkierros trail is rocky and demanding at times but there are also stairs and handrails to make the hike easier. The downhill hike from the top towards Valtavaaran kota Lappish hut is more gently sloping and the route has parts with duckboards.
This hiking trail has three nice spots for having a break:
Lean-to shelter on waterfront of Valtavaaranlampi pond is nice on a warm and sunny weather (you can also find a dry toilet from this spot) Top of Valtavaara has a picnic table outdoors and a day trip hut that has a stove. Hut is a great shelter from the wind and for colder days Valtavaaran kota Campfire hut is located 300 m from the top (find dry toilet and fire woods here)
