Hiking services
In the Tsarmitunturi Wilderness Reserve, there are no campfire sites or other hiking services, although there are two open wilderness huts.
Campsites
- Metsähallitus has decided to grant general permission to light fires in the terrain in Lapland. Fallen branches, twigs and small stumps can be used as kindling. We recommend that you do not build campfires in the areas where there are few trees.
- Before you light a fire, always check if any forest fire warnings are in effect. When a forest fire warning has been issued, lighting fires is prohibited.
- Do not burn rubbish or tear off bark from living trees. You can use a small amount of clean paper and cardboard to light your fire.
- The last person to leave the campfire site is always responsible for putting out the fire.

Drinking water
- It is recommended to boil natural water before using it as drinking water.
- Do not wash dishes or bathe directly in the water bodies or on the well cover.
- Remember to absorb used wash water into the ground at a sufficient distance from water bodies or water points.

- Check the instructions for the toilet on-site.
Waste diposal
- Do not burn trash; take it with you.
- Remember to bring trash bags when you go on a hike.
- Food waste must not be thrown into nature.
