Winter bike trails are also open to hikers. and this is a popular trail, so you are likely to encounter other trail users. Because they are moving faster on the trail, bikers must yield to trail users on foot. On hard-pack snow, downhill speeds can be very high, so please give special consideration to the other trail users. Depending on the weather conditions, the more open sections of the trail may be blown over by snow and the trail can be difficult to navigate after snowfall. Winter biking requires the use of warm gear and warm clothing for breaks. For more information, visit the Hiking in Finland section: https://www.nationalparks.fi/en_GB/hikinginfinland
