Off-road traffic

Off-road traffic always requires the permission of the landowner. Off-road traffic refers to the use of motorized vehicles – such as ATVs, snowmobiles or off-road cars – outside of public roads. Off-road traffic is subject to several regulations aimed at protecting nature and preventing harm to traditional livelihoods and other people spending time in nature.

Metsähallitus is responsible for off-road traffic permits on state-owned lands.

  • A snowmobile track permit is available for snowmobiling, which grants the right to use all of Metsähallitus' snowmobile tracks in Finland.
  • For driving a snowmobile outside of the tracks and off-road driving during snow-free season, you always need a separate off-road traffic permit which is granted upon application.
  • Tourism companies also need off-road traffic permits for business activities on state-owned land.
