Kalajoki Ski Centre/Hiekkasärkät area

Kalajoki Ski Centre and the Hiekkasärkät area feature a 1–40-kilometre-long network of ski trails that is maintained by the city.

The ski centre includes a shooting range that is suitable for biathlon and that can accommodate 20 shooters. There is also a shooting range that is suitable for the combined sport of skiing, distance estimation and rifle shooting. It can accommodate 30 shooters. The network of ski trails extends from the centre of Kalajoki to Viitapakat. The trails allow both skate skiing and classic-style skiing.

Snow conditions permitting, the ski trails are maintained with a snow groomer or a snowmobile during the day as necessary. On weekends, maintenance is carried out when there is enough snow for the type of maintenance work that is performed with a snow groomer. The only time the ski trails are not maintained is on Christmas Eve. Maintenance is performed when there is at least 4 cm of snow on the ground or if the network of trails has frozen over.
