This year we started making the seal trips on May 4. as soon as Haukivesi was free from ice. At the beginning of the season, you can usually find seals on the ice floes. Today was the first day when there was no more ice anywhere and all the seals were found on rocks on the shore. Have you noticed that on Mother's Day there is also a seal cruise with a bigger boat? Check out the Mother's Day program on the events page.

Skating is not possible anymore. We recommend kick sparks, skis, bicycle or walking on ice. There is no skitrack on the ice, but next to the marked route you can ski without a track. Especially with the skating style, the ski glides nicely.
On Monday we will celebrate the Easter holiday and the shop will be closed then.
