ICE SAFETY

​The skating trail is maintained daily with vehicles. When you stay on the marked trail, you can move on the ice without worrying about ice thickness - however, natural ice is an ever-changing condition where, for example, cracks should be watched out for when moving on the ice. Only go on the ice during daylight hours. Moving on natural ice is always at your own risk.

Tuunaansalmi current area
Our route's starting straight, i.e., Harju Portti beach - southern tip of Tuunaansaari - goes along Tuunaansalmi, where there are currents. Due to the current, only skaters are allowed on the starting straight - skiing and walking next to the route in this area is strictly prohibited. The thick ice of the skating trail is not a guarantee of sufficient ice thickness in the immediate vicinity of the trail, e.g., open water holes form more easily in flowing areas.

Skaters can trust our communication in the daily log about moving on the skating trail and crossing the current area - if the skating trail is announced as open from our beach, you can cross the current area along the skating trail without worry.

For this reason, we also use a second starting point from the southern tip of Tuunaansaari - which is past the current area. Skiers/walkers: You can access the marked ski track next to the rental shop, and the tracks lead along the land to the southern tip of Tuunaansaari, from where you can access the ice tracks and trails. Please follow the visible signs.
