    The Vuokatti Sports Institute so-called downhill tracks mainly run through pine forest on mineral soil. The small hills are fairly steep but still suitably short for enjoyable skiing. The track is interesting and varied, challenging skiers of different levels with its diversity. The track, maintained daily by a grooming machine, is suitable for both classic and skate skiing. The track is illuminated from 7 am to 9:30 pm.

    You can extend this 6 km loop to a 9 km loop if you wish; follow the markings on the terrain. There are connecting tracks from the downhill tracks to accommodation providers in the Vuokatti area as well as an ice track to Sotkamo.

    Author’s recommendation

    In the downhill skiing area of the sports institute, you can practice skiing techniques and sled down the hill either on skis or with other sledding equipment.
