**Winter hiking tips and advice for Riisitunturi**

Trekking in the winter requires more careful planning and good equipment. The humid climate of Riisitunturi creates beautiful snow-covered trees, but it also coats the trail signs. Trail marking poles and signs are often covered in thick frost and can be difficult to see. Follow the trail markings carefully to stay on the path you intend to follow. Familiarize yourself with the trail markings before your hike. The marking method for each trail can be found in the trail description. Areas prone to getting lost include the surroundings of Uudenlampi and Soilu lean-to shelters, the summit area of Riisitunturi, and trail intersections.
The weather in the fell can change quickly. The Riisitunturi area is sensitive to wind. The wind can erase your tracks in less than half an hour. The wind also increases the severity of the cold.
Snowmobile tracks and hikers' own paths crisscross the terrain in various parts of Riisitunturi. National park maintenance personnel and reindeer herders use snowmobiles, but snowmobiling in the national park is otherwise prohibited. Sometimes the snowmobile track can be fresher and more compacted than the actual hiking trail.
