Enjoy the great outdoors at the Pärnävaara Outdoor Sports Centre. The centre offers a wide range of activities to suit all tastes and abilities. The area has well-maintained routes for hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing, for example.

We also offer a variety of services related to activities such as canoeing, cycling and cross-country skiing. And why not check out Pärnävaara’s services for workplace well-being and work ability events?

The centre’s service range includes a café, equipment rentals and professional ski maintenance. Pärnävaara’s open-fire sites make atmospheric places for enjoying your own snacks.

The tarmac on the surfaced track will be replaced by 2024, which will significantly improve the conditions for rollerblading and roller skiing.
