Tallinn, however, is by the sea and in a warmer climate. <\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, since we are located significantly higher, precipitation here in winter mostly falls as snow, not rain, as weather forecasts often mistakenly claim.<\/p>\n\n<p>Often, there is rain and mud everywhere in Estonia, and the fields are already green, but as you approach Otep\u00e4\u00e4, a snowy winter unexpectedly arrives.<br\/>The temperature difference might be only a few degrees, but that&#8217;s precisely what determines what falls from the sky.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our locations are not chosen by chance. While Ristna has the best summer in Estonia, Otep\u00e4\u00e4 has the best winter.<br\/>Continuous preparation and maintenance of the trails ensure that similar quality cannot be found even in the Nordic countries.<\/p>\n\n<p>We ride during the day, we ride in the evening, and we ride at night, because our trails are too exciting not to ride.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t miss
