About Riisitunturi National Park
Visitors have to be able to take care of themselves, at least in the winter, as the area is remote and wilderness-like. The Noukavaara road is not ploughed in the winter and skiing tracks may sometimes be in poor condition. Do not expect to get quick help in emergencies. There are areas without phone coverage (try to climb higher). Some experience in hiking (and skiing in the forest, if applicable) are required, as the terrain is quite difficult in some places. On the most popular trail, from the Riisitunturi parking to Riisitunturi and its wilderness hut (Riisin rääpäsy, 3 km, easy to intermediate, often walkable also in winter) and perhaps that also to Nuolivaara (Riisin rietas, 11 km, intermediate to demanding), you might cope without any special skills. Check forecasted weather though,
