Stadium Trail

Stadium Trail starts right next to the Kontiolahti biathlon stadium, where there is also a parking area for the route. The loop route follows forest roads near the Kontioranta Frisbee golf course, descending to the landscapes of the old Kontioranta garrison and then to the shore of Höytiäinen. From the route, it is also easy to slip down to the Kontioranta beach to cool off before continuing along the forest road by the shore of Höytiäinen. From the shore, the route climbs back near the biathlon stadium, from where Höytiäinen unfolds in all its glory before your eyes. Anyone can enjoy moving in these landscapes. From the route, you can also reach Hirviranta beach via a marked path.

Stadium Trail is suitable for everyone who enjoys exercise and outdoor activities regardless of fitness level. The route's roads and paths are easy to navigate and although the route includes a few higher climbs, the beautiful scenery ultimately rewards the traveler. If desired, Stadium Trail can also be divided into two almost equal parts, so you don't have to travel the entire distance at once. Equipment for versatile movement can be rented from Kontiolahti Outdoor.

Part of the route is also kept open in winter.
