Cycling

  • The criss-crossing paved and gravel roads as well as the ski tracks and some paths going around the Koli countryside are well-suited for riding your bicycle.
  • But make sure to reserve enough time - going is slower in the hilly terrain.
  • We sell Koli cycling maps at the reseption, price 5 €.

Snowshoe hiking

  • Koli is excellent for snowshoe hiking thanks to the elevation differences, the thick snow, and the often rewarding crown snow landscapes.
  • Snowshoes allow moving even in deep snow, letting you find a new perspective onto nature in the winter.
  • You can try snowshoe hiking on your own or on guided tours.
  • There are marked snowshoe routes going around the Koli national park, of which you can learn more by visiting the Koli nature centre Ukko.
