Lapland Snowmobile Trails

Sitsapesänoja–Peltojärvi snowmobile track is about 8.3 km as a one-way, point-to-point snowmobile segment in Enontekiö in Lapland. It forms part of the wider marked snowmobile network on the Enontekiö side of the border hills, and Metsähallitus lists the segment on Luontoon.fi under snowmobiling(1). Enontekiö Arctic Lapland explains the big picture: snowmobiling is allowed only on marked tracks and on ice, Enontekiö has roughly 600 km of marked routes, and rules split between free municipal stretches, the border-hugging Victoria route, and routes that need paid permits on conservation lands(2). At the junction end toward Vanhajoki, the same network includes Vanhajoki - Sitsapesänoja Moottorikelkkaura and Vanhajoki - Peltovuoma - Suinajärvenmaa Moottorikelkkaura, so you can stitch longer day loops or transfers using official junctions. The Vanhajoki - Sitsapesänoja line passes Yrjö Kokko -lintutorni (a bird-watching tower) and the adjacent wilderness lean-to—useful breaks if you string tours along that arm. Ketojärvi - Kuivasjänkä / Vuontisjärvi Moottorikelkkaura is another nearby arm on our map if you are planning onward legs. For printed route context in the landscape around Hetta and the arm of Lapland, Enontekiö publishes separate PDF snowmobile maps for the southern area and for the Käsivarsi area, and states that municipal routes are open whenever snow and ice allow, with ice sections signed once conditions are safe(3). A municipal news item repeats that ice areas may still be unmarked when ice is weak, and reminds riders to check permit rules for Finnish Forest and Park Service and Kilpisjärven Ladut ry routes(5). If you use Metsähallitus tracks, Eräluvat describes the national track permit, when permits become available, and where to read current opened-track guidance(4). All riding stays on your own responsibility as local pages stress(2)(3).
