Snowmobile routes and tracks

Finland is covered by a network of official snowmobile routes with a total length of 3 800 kilometres. These routes are roads as defined in the Road Traffic Act and their use is thus free of charge. They are intended specifically for snowmobile traffic. In addition, there are snowmobile tracks that are unofficial routes. Driving on them requires snowmobile track permit, which is issued by Metsähallitus. Always check the current status of the tracks before riding. You can find this information on this page under the section Current Status of Snowmobile Tracks.

In Lapland, there are 2 935 kilometres of snowmobile routes and 5 000 kilometres of snowmobile tracks. In Northern Ostrobothnia the routes run for 450 km and there is 1 000 km of tracks. In Northern Savonia there is 390 km of routes and 800 km of tracks. In Northern Karelia there is approximately 1 500 km of snowmobile tracks that are up to the quality standards of snowmobile routes.

Please note that the snowmobile tracks in Kainuu are now maintained by the municipalities. You can get the current track information from the municipalities. If you have already purchased a track permit from Metsähallitus, you can use it on the Kainuu tracks according to the municipalities' conditions during the 2024–2025 season.
