    Description

    • You will bask in the shine of spring snowdrift, when you are kicksledding under bruces whith beard lichen and avoiding stones, or when you are kicksledding on the lake ice.
    • Like your ancestors, you travel responsibly with your muscle strength. As you proceed on the trip, you will enjoy your snacks.
    • Wonderful, you carry a chair with you, sit down and listen to the sounds of the forest, the squirrel’s crunch or for example, caterwauling of Päijänne’s ice.
    • Absorb the holiness of the forest!
    • The length of the trip is 3 – 5 km
    • Small children who sit on the kicksled during the trip free of charge


    Kicksledding is possible when there is enough snow on the ground and lake Päijänne is safely frozen.

    Please note

    • The terrain is mostly flat and easy to move, but not suitable for disabled people.
    • · In order to get to the ice of the lake, a hill about 500 m long must be traveled. The height difference of the hill is about 20 m.
    • · An almost similar hill begins the forest trail.
    • · Our kicksleds are traditional Finnish kicksleds for adults, whose height is 160 – 180 cm.
    • We have two kicksleds for children too. The height of the child should be 100 – 130 cm.

    The length of the trip is 3 – 5 km.


    Potkukelkkailu on mahdollista, kun maassa on tarpeeksi lunta ja Päijänteen jää on turvallisesti jäässä.
