Nothing beats a snowmobile when there\u2019s places to be in the snowy wilderness. How else would the people of Enonteki\u00f6 set their traps or check on their reindeer? For travellers, they open up a world of peace and grandeur among the fells. Do respect the rules, though!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Take on the snowy landscape and head into the quiet wilderness. You might well encounter a reindeer herder on his way to work. If you meet two, we would consider it a traffic jam.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Remember, snowmobiles are not covered under Everyman\u2019s Rights.<\/strong> Leisure use of snowmobiles is only allowed on marked trails and tracks and over frozen waters. When it comes to nature reserves, the rules are even more strict.<\/p>

You can head out on marked trails on your own or with a local guide<\/strong>. They might check on their reindeer while you're out \u2013 with any luck, you might get to see them as well! The snowmobile season starts in early winter and lasts late into spring. There are plenty of tracks to choose from: Enonteki\u00f6 has about 600 km. Some are free but others require paid permits. Note that you cannot stray from the track without permission!<\/p>

The tracks that start out from the village of Hetta<\/strong> don\u2019t require permits.\nThe Victoria route<\/strong> that traces the border between Finland and Sweden from Muonio to Kilpisj\u00e4rvi is also free.<\/p>

Permits are required in the Tarvantovaara Wilderness Area<\/strong> and K\u00e4sivarren Wilderness Areas<\/strong> and Paloj\u00e4rvi and Kilpisj\u00e4rvi in the L\u00e4t\u00e4seno-Hietajoki Mire Reserve<\/strong> as well as the tracks between Syv\u00e4j\u00e4rvi and Karesuvanto<\/strong> and Raittij\u00e4rvi and Saarikoski.<\/strong> The permits can be obtained from Mets\u00e4hallitus<\/strong> (eraluvat.fi<\/a>). The snowmobile routes around Kilpisj\u00e4rvi are maintained by the local ski club. You need to purchase permits<\/strong> on their website at kilpisjarvenladut.fi.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
