Himos trekking routes

Himos has a good network of signposted trekking routes, offering routes of different lengths to exercise enthusiasts, hikers, Nordic walking enthusiasts, track runners and snowshoe trekkers. The tracking routes vary between 3 and 12 kilometres and they can be combined to suit one’s interests and abilities. The serene outdoor routes wind their way through varying terrain which features both beautiful forest and rocky terrain. Along the trekking routes, you also get to admire splendid views.

The hiking options include the Paljakka and Sammalsuo routes to the south of West Himos. In addition, the Himos Summit route and the Summit wilderness path offer magnificent outdoor exercise routes in the heart of nature. You can start your hike either from the gravel pitch or the Vuorikahvio cafe. The Summit wilderness path also features a shelter where you can barbecue sausages. For those seeking a longer, more adventurous hike, we recommend the Kivilaavu route, which covers a distance of around 12 kilometres.

Hiking maps can be obtained from the tourist information point at the Himos Center reception area.
