Access Requirements
Wintertodt is gated behind 50 Firemaking.
50 Firemaking also tends to sit alongside the other skilling boss gates, so it is usually cheaper to clear them together than to come back for each one. The boss requirements checklist lists them by group.
Where Wintertodt Sits in Progression
Wintertodt is the entry point for the skilling boss group, so there is nothing easier here to warm up on. Above it sit Hespori and Zalcano.

Drops and What Wintertodt Is Worth
Drops worth the trip: Pyromancer outfit, warm gloves, tome of fire. Whether that is worth your time depends on how many kills an hour you personally get, which is a function of points and safety wins rather than of your gear list.
