Piilovaara Trail

Easy two-way trail that is also suitable for beginners. Ascent/descent 101 m. The route provides opportunities for enjoyable mountain biking and trail running.

The trail runs through verdant deciduous forest along footpaths, carriage paths and, for a short distance, a dirt road. The trail features two short steep hills and two longer hills. A section of the trail commands a spectacular view of the surrounding eskers.

Piilovaara Trail merges with the nature trails in the area (marked in yellow), which provide more route options. The nature trails are not maintained for mountain biking.
