A versatile trail near Vuokatti Sports Institute, running through a pine forest, suitable for the whole family. From early winter, the track is part of the first snow trail.
Vuokatti Sports Institute's so-called lower terrain routes mainly run through heather terrain in pine forest. The small hills are reasonably steep but still short enough for enjoyable skiing. The trail is interesting and varied, challenging skiers of all levels with its versatility. The trail, maintained daily by a snow groomer, suits both classic and skate skiing styles.
The trail is illuminated from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm. There are connecting trails from the lower terrain tracks to accommodation businesses in the Vuokatti area as well as an ice track to Sotkamo.
