The biathlon stadium of Vuokatti is available for use year-round. The range has 33 shooting places, and it is lit up and its automatic target systems are equipped with lead catchers which collect the bullets. For the use of people who are physically disabled or visually impaired, a 20-lane target apparatus is available if required, equipped with air-rifle targets and lead catchers. Both the ranges meet the requirements of the IBU and IPC for competitions.
In addition, a new 6-lane, 50-meter shooting range next to the ski tunnel exit is open for teams’ training use. The range has a screen for every lane and it gathers up all the data from the shooting – the hits, and shooting time. The use of the equipment requires instruction, so the range is primarily available only for teams. If you have a team arriving to us and you want to use the new track- please contact us and well schedule the instruction time for you.
The usage fee of biathlon range is 25€/person/day. You can complete the payment at Vuokatti Sport reception, Opistontie 4. When you stay with us, the use of the stadium is included in the price.

VO2 Max Test on a treadmill (Nordic Walking or running) or on a bicycle ergometer
In the test, the precise values for the aerobic and anaerobic threshold are determined, as well as the maximal oxygen intake capacity and the heart rate-lactic acid levels that correspond to these. The test is carried out on a treadmill either by nordic walking or running depending from the wants of the person tested. VO2 Max test can be also done on a bicycle ergometer. The test starts from an easy pace and it gets harder by increasing the inclination or speed every three minutes until the exhaustion point. After each of these three-minute stages, a blood sample is taken from the tip of the test person’s finger and this is used to measure the lactic acid in their blood.
During the test, we measure the changes in the test person’s breathing by using a breath-by-breath gas analyzing system. Test person’s heart rates during the test are saved in our system, and by utilizing these and the collected blood samples we can define individual training zones for endurance training.
The test includes both verbal and written feedback. From the feedback, test person can find individual heart rate zones, which they are able to utilize to plan their own training and to control own training speeds.
The test also includes InBody measurement.
NOTE! Watch a video from a treadmill test below! (English subtitles available by clicking a subtitle button from the bottom of the video)
Indirect bicycle ergometer test – RECOMMENDED!
The test determines individual heart rate zones for endurance training, as well as the aerobic and anaerobic threshold. The test is done on a bicycle and usually takes a maximum of 15 minutes. During the test, the resistance is increased step by step. The heart rate is also monitored and the subject is asked about the strain they are experiencing. The test is suitable for everyone, regardless of the age or fitness level of the test person. The test also does not demand maximal efforts.
UKK 2 km walking test
The test tells what the endurance fitness of the person being tested is, in relation to health and performance capacity. During the test, the person walks two kilometers in relatively fast speed. The fitness evaluation is based on the walking time, the heart rate at the end of the test and the background factors of the person (gender, weight/height, age). The test is suitable for exercisers of all levels.

InBody measurement is an easy, quick and reliable way to measure the composition of your body. The measurement results provide diverse and detailed information about things such as the muscle mass, fat percentage and visceral fat amounts, as well as about fluids inside the body.
InBody measurement is done by standing with bare feet in the InBody device and holding onto the handles of the device. It is recommended that the measurement is done in the mornings, before eating breakfast and preferably with as little clothing as possible in order to facilitate and guarantee reliable results. The measurement does not cause pain or any other unpleasant feelings.

In the Vuokatti Adventure Park, there are nine adventure courses of different levels in a scenic environment in the middle of the forest. The courses of the park are colour-coded according to difficulty level into yellow, green, blue, red and black, i.e. from easy courses all the way to Finland’s most challenging course, which demands skill and daring, as high up as 12 metres. Each course ends in a wild zip line descent. On the children’s park courses, about a metre up, even the smallest adventurers can get to experience exciting and fun moments. In progressing, speed is not the most important thing, but instead experiences and putting yourself to the test!
TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE IN VUOKATTI
Location:
The park is easy to reach by car via the Vuokatti slopes and from the car park of the park, it’s a short distance to walk along a path, going around the ridge on the right side towards the courses that can be seen high up. From the Vuokatti Sports Institute (Vuokatti Sport), it’s a short walk across the bridge over the railway and then turning right at once until you see a grey container building.

The Vuokatti Ski Service offers expert rental, maintenance, reconditioning and waxing services for cross-country skis. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional, the polishing or patterning of the ski helps in achieving the best glide. The patterning, which is carried out on the basis of different trail conditions, improves the ski’s glide properties considerably and adds to the enjoyability of the pursuit. For competition skiers, we offer professional polishing and patterning services according to the profile of the ski for different trail conditions.
An amateur benefits from pattern polishing in that, for example, frost patterning is used for the dry conditions in winter, and when the spring comes the base of the ski is reconditioned using water condition patterning.
