As Vierumäki nature is geographically and historically significant, we must take good care of it.

All of us appreciate pure nature, outdoor activities and the sense of togetherness. There are no trash bins on the trails and nature destinations, so please put any rubbish into your jacket or backpack pocket and recycle it when you return to the Sports Institute area.

You may run into walkers, runners, mountain bikers or electric mountain bike riders on the hiking trails. It is part of good nature etiquette and respect for others to give way to the person travelling by the most strenuous method. If the path is narrow, we recommend getting up from the bike and giving way to the oncoming walker.

SUP boards and canoes in the summer

How different the familiar forests look from a fresh perspective! The naturally beautiful lakes of Vierumäki (e.g. Valkjärvi, Suurjärvi and Saarijärvi) provide a peaceful setting for paddling and SUP boarding alone or in a group.

During the summer season, you can rent a canoe or a SUP board and enjoy a relaxing experience on the waters of Vierumäki. Equipment is available for rent either from the Outdoor Center during its opening hours.

From the Outdoor Center, you'll also receive a paddle and a flotation vest. The canoes and paddle boards themselves are located at the shore of Lake Valkjärvi.

Snowshoeing

We offer a very easy way to move around our surroundings in the form of snowshoes in the winter. The shoes are very easy to use and provide a low threshold for exploring the nature of Vierumäki even in the winter months. The six spikes on the sole give your steps grip and the adjustable laces make it quick to put on and take off the shoes. It is also recommended to take poles with the shoes, which are available free of charge when renting.

Slide Snowshoeing

Our slide snowshoes (127 cm, 149 cm) offer a different way to explore our hilly and snowy terrain. Resembling downhill and cross-country skis, snowshoes allow for both fast downhill movement and effortless uphill walking. Thanks to the fur sole in the shoe, your step will stay steady even on steeper uphills without any problems.
