Värikallio Winter Trail

Did you know that you can also visit the Värikallio paintings in winter?

In this case, the ice on Lake Somerjärvi allows you to explore the site up close. Fatbike cyclists, snowshoers, skiers (no trail) and walkers are all welcome – the trail is maintained from January to the end of April.

The trail is marked in the wild with orange paint markers and reflective signage at intersections. A snowmobile trail also runs alongside the area.

There is a dry toilet in the parking lot of the Meat Loop. There is also a cook shelter with a wood stove and a dry toilet at the Värikallio rock paintings.

Lihapyörre car park.
Driving directions: Follow the Jatkonsalmentie road past the nature centre for 3.3 km and turn right onto the Pistonlehdontie for 6.4 km. Then turn right onto the road to Lihapyörre, 1.7 km from the road crossing to the car park.
