Ilomantsi illuminated track 4 km

A friend of easier tracks turns left from the back of the Parppei sports center field and continues on the track named Parppei bypass. At this point, the demanding track section bends right and goes up to Parppeinvaaran.

The tracks connect back to the same route just before the Möhköntie underpass tunnel, where there is a 3.5 km turning point. After the underpass tunnel, a climb heads to the right, which can be bypassed by going left on the two-way track.

The track lights turn on in the afternoon with a dusk switch and turn off at 9 p.m. The lights do not turn on in the mornings. The frost limit for the lights is -24 °C.

Pogostantie 13, Ilomantsi

The start takes place in front of the sports hall, in front of the announcer's building, where there is a ski track crossing between the field's end – beware of those coming from the left. From the end of the field, turn left to Parppein bypass, after a small downhill, turn right at the intersection. Straight ahead continues the Ruhkaranta loop. After turning right, there is a bypass directed to the left as a two-way track. The two-way track continues all the way to the tunnel. After the tunnel, turn left on the two-way track that rises up the trail before the Möhköntie parking lot.

The track continues as a one-way 5.3 km to the turning point, which is also the turning place for this loop; due to bypasses, the distance is a bit over a kilometer shorter.

Return to the tunnel and through the bypass to the splitting point of the Ruhranta loop, from where you continue straight towards the ski center. As a one-way track back to the starting point. On the way, there is also the Ruhranta return track near the shooting range and a track intersection when arriving at the field.
