A challenging unlit extra loop continuing from the lit track, with a lean-to along the way. For fans of fast descents and hill training.
Description
The starting point is the 7.2 km turnaround to which the route also returns. The first climb to the open area is gentle. The first descent towards Havukantie is fast and winding inside the forest. The second climb is steeper inside a spruce forest. There is a lean-to at the top of Havukan. From the lean-to, you drop down to a second descent which initially has no ski tracks. This long descent leads back to the lit track.
