Winter trail
LocationSuomussalmi

The multi-purpose trail Jatkon jotos maintained by the Hossa ski track pool goes around the Jatkonvaara Hill and crosses clear water bodies. Along the trail, you can see pine forests of different ages, esker landscapes, open lakes and the Muikkupuro Stream, which does not freeze over in the winter. The trail is best suited for skiing or snowshoeing. A sled dog trail crosses the trail at a few points. If you encounter a dog sled, it has the right of way. A ski track crosses the trail at a few points and sometimes follows the same track. Please take other trail users into consideration. Maintenance of the trail begins as soon as the snow and ice conditions permit.

  • Pine forest of varying ages,
  • Ridge landscapes and lake views,
  • Muikkupuro, which remains unfrozen throughout the winter.
