Halti
Halti is a fell at the border between Norway and Finland. The peak of the fell, called Ráisduattarháldi, is in Norway, on the border between the municipalities of Nordreisa and Gáivuotna–Kåfjord, about 1 kilometre north of the border with Finland. The highest point of the fell on the Finnish side is at 1,324 m above sea level, and thus the highest point in the country. The Finnish side of Halti belongs to the municipality of Enontekiö in the province of Lapland. The highest point in Finland is on a spur of Ráisduattarháldi at 1,324 m known as Hálditšohkka at the border of Norway. The peak proper is not in Finland; border marker is on a hill. The highest mountain whose peak is in Finland is Ridnitšohkka, at 1,316 m and a few kilometers from Halti. Halti was measured and mapped by the Finnish person Erkki Perä. The reason for the border being the way it is can be traced to a Swedish-Danish border treaty in 1734, when Norway belonged to Denmark and Finland to Sweden. The treaty specifies the border only by some its biggest natural features like mountains. Thus, international boundary commissions would walk the border and place border markers where it was convenient. The actual border was then agreed to lie on a straight line between these markers, as was the usual practice at the time.A 50 km trekking path leads from Saana, Kilpisjärvi to Halti.
