The Linnansaari ice route will not be open by Christmas. The ski track in the forest will be open.

Even though there was a hard frost at the beginning of the week it didn't help. Snow insulates so well that ice does not grow, on Haukivesi on Wednesday there was only 3 cm of ice even though it was 20 degrees below zero. Our fishing guide has taken customers fishing in places other than Haukvesi and the catches have been good. New for this year is a mini snowmobile track for children in the centre of the village. Pre-book children's sledges directly at the reception or online.
