Cross-country skiing trails and outdoor trails

In Riihimäki you can exercise all year round on our various outdoor trails. Some of the trails start right near the city center and even the furthest ones are not a long distance. In Riihimäki, everything is close by! In the summer you can get active on our versatile fitness trails and in the winter we make trails to several different destinations around the city.

Illuminated tracks and outdoor trails

Our versatile exercise routes welcome fitness enthusiasts of all levels to exercise all year round.

During the winter season, the lighting is on from 6 a.m. to 22 p.m. on the Riutta, Vahteriston, Urheilupuisto central field and garrison exercise tracks.

  • Track situation update in the winter season 

    The most up-to-date information on the condition of the trails and ice fields can be found on the Riihimäki map service. Maintenance information on the city's trails and ice fields is now available on the city's map service at https://kartta.riihimaki.fi.

    On the home page, select “Select information to display on the map” from the map menu to display maintenance information for the tracks and ice fields. The background color of the tracks and fields changes on the map depending on how long it has been since the maintenance. The service also shows the last maintenance time. The information is updated automatically once an hour and with a small delay so that the machines can work in peace until the end of their work. The tracks in the service at this stage are the illuminated main tracks Riutta, Vahteristo and Varuskunta.
