Most popular ski tracks in Hämeenlinna

  • Ahveniston motor racing circuit tracks: Several different loops are available in the motor racing circuit area. During winter, the circuit is transformed into a skiing center, with a loop of approximately 3 km prepared using stored and cannon-made snow. This is often the first skiable track in the inner city. The Kahtoilampi track is illuminated and has a gentle gradient. From the motor racing circuit, you can also access connecting tracks that lead through Hirsimäki all the way to Tervaniemi.
  • Lammi, Konnari Ski Center: The Konnari Ski Center offers early-season skiing opportunities in the local districts. Thanks to the use of snow cannons, the track is often opened quickly at the start of winter. Touring tracks towards Kaunisniemi and Tuulos also depart from Konnari.
  • Aulanko area tracks: The Aulanko lake track is one of the city’s most popular routes, where you can enjoy the national landscape alone or with a dog.
    The Aulanko Ten is an easy forest route with beautiful scenery. You can also enjoy skiing after dark on the 4.3 km or 6.4 km illuminated routes in Aulanko. These are more demanding options, featuring steep climbs and descents. From Aulanko, you can easily access the easy track loop at the nearby Eversti golf course.
  • Tervaniemi: The hilly terrain of the illuminated route offers a challenge for active skiers, or you can enjoy the flat lake track maintained in cooperation with local residents.
  • Lassila field loop: A flat route set in the Hattelmalanharju landscape, popular among fitness enthusiasts.

Illuminated tracks allow for skiing in the evenings. For example, the lights on the Aulanko illuminated route are on from 7:00 AM and remain lit until 10:00 PM.

Specific times and locations are reserved for those skiing with dogs: skiing with a dog is permitted on the Kankaantausta illuminated track in the evenings after 6:00 PM.
