Kääriku has started to prepare the hiking and skiing tracks for the winter season. The skiing tracks have been marked, mowed and the edges cleaned. The ski-track tractor is in order and ready for work!

Traditionally also this year we are offering the whole selection of the trails.
There are five ski trails:
* Legendary Kekkonen 14km
* Lighted trail 2.5 km, which has been extended till the hotel
* Kääriku-Pühjajärve-Kääriku light traffic road 16 km
* Additionally 3km and 5km trails in the slopes of Kääriku

Ski slopes will be accessable from the hotel, where there is also a new parking lot accomodating one hundred cars.

A big magnet for the skiers has been our annual Kekkonen ski trip, which this winter is at 11. March 2012. The Ski Race is the 18th in a row and is named after the Finnish president Urho Kaleva Kekkonen, who visited Kääriku during his legendary visit to Estonia in 1964. Originally, the president hiked on 17km trail, but this has gradually developed into the 14km ski ride. The race is held in the classical cross-country technique.

Kääriku ski lending office will be open also this year, we hope to be flexible and open to the lender at any time.Up on request we can offer discounts for larger groups.
In addition we have slopes for sledging and lighted iceskating field. Sledges and skates can be rented at the hotel.
Since last year we have renovated the washing area, so called Sport Sauna, under the Sport Hall. The sauna can accommodate about 60 people, with separate men's and women's changing rooms and shared steam room.

From the slopes opens a beautiful view to the scenic Kääriku lake, two saunas are locatred beside it. Kekkonen sauna is suitable for a smaller group, about 15 people. Green's sauna, located in the immediate vicinity of the stadium, can accommodate 30 people. Both saunas have cozy sitting room with fireplace. Our guests can also enjoy our barrel bathtub. Outside of both saunas there is a place for a campfire.

Kääriku kitchen offers a wide range of different menus. A special menu for sauna party, picnic baskets, banquet tables, coffee breaks and special menus for vegetarians and athletes.
After hiking at the ski trail and the nice sauna we wait you at the hotel bar for tea and hot pasteries. We offer refreshments, soup and drinks for everyone.
Kääriku is waiting for you. Come and enjoy the beautiful winter scenery!
