The route starts towards the sports institute yard area, heading to the red brick sports hall and the ski bridge. After the ski bridge, the route turns right, passing Ahvenuksenlammi pond towards Kuikkalampi pond. The route makes a turn along the shore of Kuikkalampi and stairs to the edge of a small marsh pond. From here, you can take a short cut to Vuokatti K-supermarket. After passing under Kuikkalammentie road, the route goes about half a kilometer along a ski trail through a pine forest.
