Biathlon stadium

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.

The update in rollerski track was done in 2023 and now the whole track is eight kilometers (8 km) long! The biggest single uphill is located in Vuokatinvaara, which is also easy to access by following the bike paths from rollerski track. The height difference in this uphill is 130m and rollerskiers have their own specific lane on the left side of the road.

Due to the increased length of the track, maintenance of the asphalt requires a stronger effort than before. Therefore, there will be a usage fee of €10/person/day for the roller ski track. This fee can be paid at the Vuokatti Sport reception, Opistontie 4.

First snow track 10.10.->

On 10.10. every year at 10 am we open the first snow trail.

The earlier you get to train on real snow, the better the training of the winter season will be. In Vuokatti, the first snow track goes around the biathlon range, from which there is a direct connection to the ski tunnel. Tens of thousands of cubic metres of snow are stored every year for the first snow track and for making repairs necessitated by possible rains. In this way, the maximum effectiveness is obtained from training on real snow. After the opening of the first snow track, the hiking routes of Vuokatti are still snow-free, so combining the morning ski training with a round of Nordic walking, for example, makes training diverse.

When the first snow track opens at 10th of October the length is about 1.5 km. From that we continue making the track longer and longer and in its entirety, the length of the first snow track is as much as 9-10 km, weather permitting.

At the moment we have 3 km of first snow track open, check the following map!

Cross-country skiing trails

The overall length of the trail Vuokatti trail network (lower and higher terrain) is 150 kilometres, of which 120 kilometres are fixed up every winter for both kinds of skiing. There are 32 kilometres of lit-up trails in Vuokatti. The lights are not turned on if the temperature is -20˚C or below. Lights turn on at 07:00 am and turn off at 9:30pm. The routes of both the lower and higher terrain start from the Vuokatti Hall car park. To improve safety we use wider trails in downhill.

The lower terrain of Vuokatti Sport

The routes of the lower terrain mainly go through dry forest terrain. The small hills are relatively steep, but still short enough for enjoyable skiing. In the Hiihtomaa ski centre of the lower terrain of the Sports Institute, you can learn skiing techniques and go downhill, either with skis or with other devices.

The trails of the fell, i.e. the higher terrain

The higher terrain trails go through a demanding fell landscape where the height differentials are large; as much as 165 metres. There are trekking routes or racing trails of 5–30 kilometres to choose from. From the basic network, there are connecting trails to the accommodation companies in the Vuokatti area and an ice trail to Sotkamo. In Sotkamo, the skiing is on the trails of Hiukka, and there are also routes to choose from to the travel companies to the east and south of Sotkamo. Rest opportunities along the trail network are offered by the huts and lean-tos marked on the trail map.
