Other Hiking Tips

• Own paths: Muotkatunturi Wilderness Area is an ideal place for a hiker who likes to find his own paths. Experience and adequate equipment are needed when going wilderness trekking.
• Destinations accessible with a wheelchair or a baby pram: In the wilderness area, there are no suitable destinations for visitors with a wheelchair or a baby pram.
• In the winter: The wilderness area is quiet in the winter, a contrast to the summer time when it bustles with life. In the snow, a skiing trail will cross the footprints of the willow grouse or the reindeer every now and then.

Snowmobile Track

• Inari - Karigasniemi snow mobile track crosses the eastern part of the area. More information and permits can be obtained from Ivalo Customer Service and from Siida - Northern Lapland Nature Centre in Inari.
