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.

A lot of snow fell between Saturday and Sunday night

The lake area where we skated on Friday and Saturday is now covered in snow. Now there is nothing to do but wait for the whole lake to freeze over. Ice fishing trips we make on request.

Winter hiking trail history

Marking of the winter hiking trail starts when the ice is thick enough. The hiking trail will open in December-January. Here you can see the statistics on how the winter hiking trail has been open for the last 10 years. By browsing through the entries in the diary you can see more precisely when you have been able to skate and when you have not been able to skate on the winter hiking trail.
