    The varied and demanding terrain of Vuokatti offers an excellent environment for walking and running training as well as various tests. The Vuokatinvaara route, "Tour de Vuokatti," is Vuokatti's most popular trail running test site in summer. This demanding trail tests also the running fitness of Olympic champions!

    The route follows groomed trails, nature paths, and boardwalks, culminating on top of Iso-Pölly at Vuokatinvaara, where the opening view rewards the runner.

    Roadbook

    You can get from Vuokatti Sports Institute to the starting point by following the groomed trail on Vaara's illuminated ski track. Cross the trail bridge to the left, follow the signs 'Vaara's illuminated track.' From the trail bridge it is about 300 meters to the starting point at the caravan area on the east corner of Kattivankkuri. The route goes gently uphill along the groomed trail on Vaara's illuminated ski track for 1.9 km, where the route turns right off the ski trail. The path section, about 700 meters, goes uphill to the Lehmilampi hut. From the hut, the route continues along Vaara's 7/9 km groomed trail: first 1.3 km in a straight line, then winding past the Pöllylampi hut, past the stairs leading to Iso-Pölly via Vaarantie parking lot to the finish point at the top station of the ski lift.
