Snowshoeing

Where do the routes start? The trails start in Luosto, from the" Luosto portti" gate of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, which is right next to Juha's suksihuolto service point.

Where can you go on snowshoes? Can I take my dog with me?

• The trails are marked on the terrain with blue plough signs with reflectors.

Where to go?

For snowshoes, we recommend heading to the Ukko-Luosto scenic hut. The route starts from the Luosto gate (Luoston portti) - to Tikkalaavu and from there up towards the top of Ukko-Luosto. The trail can be traversed as a circular route through Torvinen maja Café, which means that the snowshoe route is about 7.5 km away. Please note that snowshoeing is a very physical and strenuous sport and running time can be 3-5h.
