Route Info Week 9 (23.2.-1.3.)

Friday 27.2. The air temperature rose to plus degrees Celsius today. The kick sled route to Linnansaari has been plowed, but water is now rising onto the ice. The snowmobile track can be used for walking or skiing. The traditional cross-country ski track on the ice to Linnansaari (5 km/one way) and the forest cross-country ski track (approx. 3,5 km circular route) have been made today. Be careful on the larger hill on the forest ski track. The Oravi forest cross-country forest ski track starts on Oravintie road. Park your car at the village shop’s parking area. Linnansaari café is not open in the weekend.

Thursday 26.2. Due to snowfall throughout the whole day, the kick sledding trail and traditional cross-country ski track cannot remain open and are therefore closed. We will announce here when the kick sledding trail will be plowed next time. You can ski on the winter hiking ice trail marked with red snowplow poles. It is also possible to book a sleigh ride to Linnansaari.

Ice trail updates during the week:

The winter trail for hiking, cycling, and skiing is open from Oravi via Linnansaari to Järvisydän (approx. 20 km)! The route is marked with red snow poles. No trail fee. Trail map.

The classic cross-country ski track as well as the ploughed kick spark route from Oravi to Linnansaari (5 km) was opened again around noon on Monday 23.2. after the snow fall.

On Savonselkä, about 2 km from Oravi, you can enjoy your packed lunch in the cozy lakeside hut (picture). Firewood fee €4.
