You can enjoy nature in winter in many ways by packing some snacks, a hot drink, something to sit on and extra clothes for break times. With the Marttinen youth centre’s activities you can experience many sides of winter. You can do this by wandering alone in snowshoes, marvelling at the surrounding nature and silence or, on the other hand, by using ice as a climbing wall, or walking on it as it cracks underfoot, while wearing a safe rescue suit.
There is a wide range of activities on the snow and ice in the landscapes near Marttinen.
We climb up the 12 m Marttinen ice wall. There are challenges for beginning and the more experienced climbers.

We go on a snowshoe hike in the area around Marttinen to the Toriseva gorge lakes or the Lake Helvetinjärvi National Park. Learning to walk in snowshoes is easy and will allow you to enjoy nature in winter. Differences in height, snowy conditions and the walking speed bring challenges for people with all kinds of challenges and aims. On hikes of over three hours, we make lunch outdoors on the hike.

We play a game of Marling on the Marttinen ice rink. Marling is a team game on ice in which the teams take turns to slide eight stones and try to get their own stones closer to the centre of the “house” than their opponents.Tavoitteet

We put on rescue suits and walk on thin ice courageously and safely. What does it feel like when the ice gives way underfoot and you have to get out of the water? We rescue each other by helping our buddies get back on top of the ice and experience what it feels like when we get a buddy on to safe ice again!
