Hiidenportti National Park invites also in winter
(Updated 14.2.2024)
Reaching the Hiidenportti National Park is easy also in winter time. The road Hiidenportintie leading to the main information point of the national park is ploughed. However, you should be aware of sudden snow falls. It will take time before the ploughers get to these remote roads.
There are no maintained routes in Hiidenportti, but very often there appears a path from the Palolampi information point to the Hiidenportti gorge. Snowshoes or glideshoes are recommended.

Hiidenportti National Park welcomes visitors throughout the year. Hiidenportti is a nice and quiet national park, which offers a lot to see and experience.
In 2022 Hiidenportti celebrates the 40th anniversary together with 10 other Finnish national parks: Gulf of Finland, Helvetinjärvi, Isojärvi, Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas, Lauhanvuori, Patvinsuo, Riisitunturi, Salamajärvi, Seitseminen and Tiilikkajärvi. Each of these parks have their own celebrations for their anniversaries. Please, check their What's New pages.
The services and facilities in Hiidenportti national park are constantly being repaired, but, please note that along the hiking routes in some places the duckboards are in bad condition. Have a nice hike, but please, watch your steps.
When wildfire warnings (en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi) are in effect, fire is only allowed at covered campfire sites that have a flue. A fire can be also lit in fireplaces at wilderness and other huts. Always use extreme caution when handling fire. The one who lights a fire is always responsible for its safe use. Please note, that making fire at these campfire sites can be banned locally.
