The skating route has been plowed from the entire distance between Oravi-Linnansaari-Järvisydän, the surface of the ice is mirror like (couple centimeters of water on the ice), so now we are waiting for minus degrees to freeze the water layer on the ice. To make the skating route as smooth as possible, you must NOT go on the skating route now. You can walk on the winter hiking trail marked with red sticks, put on waterproof shoes.

The snow has been ploughed from the skating route from Oravi to Linnansaari today on Tuesday, but for the few centimeters of water on the ice on the skating route to freeze as evenly as possible, you must NOT go there before it has frozen completely. We will let you know as soon as the skating route is open again. You can walk on the winter hiking trail (along snowmobile track), but it is good to wear waterproof shoes.
