Route Info week 5 (26.1.-1.2.2026)

On the winter hiking route you can walk, cycle, ski, or book a sleigh ride in advance to the main island of Linnansaari. The winter hiking route is open and marked with red snow poles as far as the shipping channel. The end of the route at the channel is marked with crossed poles, and going beyond this point is NOT allowed. On Thursday, the kick sled trail from Oravi to Linnansaari (5 km/one way) was plowed.
