Track etiquette
In order for everyone to be able to enjoy nature exercise, we need to take care of manners:
- Be considerate of other skiers
- Ski the track on the right, pass on the left
- Keep a sufficient distance from the skier in front
- Follow the marked skiing direction
- The faster one dodges the slower one and the solo skier dodges those who ski in line
- Don't ski on the heels of those ahead of you
- Do not change tracks when skiing downhill
- Helping is a duty in the event of an accident
Walking dogs on skiing trails
In order to avoid dangerous situations, we ask dog walkers to consider and follow Article 14, Section 2 of the Public Order Act:
The owner or keeper of the dog must take care that the dog does not go untethered on a fitness trail or other similar running track, or at all, on a public beach, an area reserved as a children's playground, on a market during market hours, or on a track or sports field renovated for general use, unless it is specifically permitted.
The ban on walking on the skiing tracks is based on the law
Cross-country skiing tracks are covered by the Consumer Safety Act (920/2011). This legislation requires that the condition of the slopes remains at a safe level. To ensure safety, walking on the tracks is prohibited.
A track intended for dogs
The dog cross-country track is in use on the Peltolammi trail every Tuesday and Thursday from 20:00 to 22:00 and on Sundays from 19:15 to 22:00. Only skis are allowed on the dog cross-country track.
Rules for sled dog enthusiasts
Liability insurance is recommended for every visitor, which compensates for possible damages caused to third parties. Accident insurance is also recommended.
- Dogs must be kept on a leash.
- The waste must be collected immediately.
- At the start, the dog team in front is given at least 100 meters of space. The fastest ones leave first, unless otherwise agreed.
- In a bypass situation, the overtaker announces his or her arrival audibly and the person being overtaken moves to the right side of the track, taking control of the dog in the short lead.
- The dogs are not allowed to make contact or become familiar with each other on the track.
- Other skiers will be notified in good time and audibly about passing and thanked when passing.
