Stadium Trail
The loop route near Kontiolahti biathlon stadium is a good choice for those interested in starting mountain biking.
Description
Stadium Trail starts right next to the Kontiolahti biathlon stadium, where the parking area for the route is also located. The loop route circles along forest roads near Kontioranta Frisbee golf course, descending to the old garrison scenery of Kontioranta and then to the edge of Höytiäinen. From the route, it's 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, you ascend back near the biathlon stadium, where the full splendor of Höytiäinen opens before your eyes. These landscapes are enjoyable for anyone to move in.
Stadium Trail is suitable for all who enjoy exercise and outdoor activities regardless of fitness level. The route's roads and trails are easy to traverse, and although the route includes a few higher climbs, the beautiful scenery ultimately rewards those traveling. If desired, Stadium Trail can also be divided into two almost equally long parts, so the entire distance does not need to be traveled at once. The route also provides access to Hirviranta beach.
Part of the route is also kept open during winter.
