Also,
There is the longest a lighted trail in Koli
There are 60 kilometres of ski trails at Koli. From the Kopravaara Future Freetime Centre there is a lighted 25-kilometre trail to Loma-Koli. And shorter trails almost without number
Within the National Park the 3- and 7-km loop trails traverse the hills. The 3-km trail is fairly easy, but the 7-km is more demanding. Later in the winter season the alternatives increase as new trails are opened in preparation for the two major mass ski events of the year, Maisemahiihto and Ahmanhiihto. Lake Pielinen provides a more level terrain for skiing. The maintained ski tracks on the frozen lake are especially enjoyable on sunny spring days.
