    The Jäätiönlahti ice track continues eastward from the Katinkulta sunshine track (6/10 km). The wide, two-way track runs along the eastern shore of Jäätiönlahti and is skiable both in classical and freestyle techniques. The round-trip length of the route is four kilometers.

    From the track, you can easily access the accommodation sites located on the shore of Jäätiönlahti: Vuokatinranta, Hotel Vuokatti, and Vuokatinmaa, as well as the connecting track leading to Vuokatti Sports Institute; the route can be started from several different departure points.

    Along the way, you can detour to the Jäätiölampi lean-to shelter, which is about 200 meters from the ice track. The lean-to has a fireplace and a woodshed.

    Author’s recommendation

    Even smaller skiers can manage to ski this route and stop for a snack break at the Jäätiölampi lean-to shelter. Spot the large Vuokatti ski jump in the scenery!

    From the Katinkulta beach area, you can access the ski track from several points. Ski eastward, towards the Vuokatti fells. Along the way, there are connecting tracks to the left leading to the Jäätiö track/multi-use trail (part of the 6/10 km Aurinkolatu) and to the Jäätiölampi lean-to shelter. You will pass the Vuokatinranta course center, Hotel Vuokatti, and end up at the Vuokatinmaa shore. On the return trip, the landscape opens up to you from the opposite direction.
