Activities in the Syöte area

 

Cross-country skiing

Syöte is one of the most versatile cross-country skiing resorts in Finland. The ski trails in the hiking area are part of the managed trail network of the Syöte Tourist Area (120 km). In the spring and winter, the trails pass through incredibly beautiful crown snow load on trees on hills and unspoilt quiet swamps. Height differences at Syöte ensure that there is enough challenge and speed on the skiing tracks.

You can also ski in the cold weather on Iso-Syöte Huipunlatu, because it is often warmer in the fell. Riihitupa, located along the Iso-Syöte - Pytkynharju ski track is the finest resting place in the hiking area. You can ensure the success of the ski trip by checking the current condition of the skiing tracks from the service offered by Syöte trackpool (kunto.fluentprogress.fi).
