Visit Savonlinna – skiing trails (Kievarin Kierros)+

Description

The trail is about 25.2 km as one walking line through Savonlinna in South Savo. For the corridor’s character and winter upkeep, Visit Savonlinna is a practical place to start: they describe Kievarin Kierros as a one-way, about 25 km route with both easier and more demanding sections, three laavut, and a kota along the maintained ski network. The same landscape is a long-distance hiking connection in summer; details on markings and junctions toward the Kaijansuo area appear in independent trail writing on Retkipaikka, and Suomen Luonto introduces Kaijansuo’s mire–ridge–lake mosaic as one of the regional nature highlights worth planning around. From the Nojanmaa sport-and-outdoor side near the route start, you soon reach P-paikka Nojanmaa for parking. The same neighbourhood links to Nojanmaan kuntorata and Nojanmaan valaistu latu for shorter runs or skiing. A few kilometres in, Lintutornin kota offers a birdwatching-themed kota stop. The middle section crosses the Kaijansuo–Kaijanharju–Iso Kaijanlampi complex: Soinilan laavu and Kaijanlammen laavu sit on that arc, with Kolmen Kaijan kierros - parkkipaikka and Herajärven uimalaituri at the Niittylahti shore—useful if you combine with Kolmen Kaijan kierros or Haukiveden kierros. Toward the northwest end, Juppitupa and Toson laavu sit close together for a break before the line finishes near Varparannan kartanon frisbeegolfrata. Haukiveden kierros and Kahden kansallispuiston kierros share parts of this shore and forest network for cyclists planning longer loops. Kolmen Kaijan kierros overlaps as a shorter hiking ring in the same Kaijansuo landscape. On snow, Kievarin kierros latu follows a parallel winter line with grooming information published for the wider Savonlinna track network.

Length & route

The trail on our map is about 25.2 km end to end as one walking line. Visit Savonlinna quotes the same order of magnitude for Kievarin Kierros as a one-way, about 25 km route with both easier and more demanding sections, and names three laavut plus a kota along the maintained winter network. In the Kaijansuo sector, Kolmen Kaijan kierros is often walked as its own roughly 6 km ring with blue paint markings on shared paths; Retkipaikka describes kilometre posts tied to the Kievarin corridor and junctions toward Herajärvi and Prisma. Suomen Luonto summarises Kaijansuo’s open mire and ridge scenery for context on the nature values you pass.

Getting there

Practical access is easiest from the Nojanmaa outdoor cluster: use P-paikka Nojanmaa for a named car park on the early part of the line, or stage a shorter visit from Kolmen Kaijan kierros - parkkipaikka on Niittylahdentie when you focus on the Kaijansuo loop. Retkipaikka notes an alternative small lay-by near Niittylahdentie 689 for approaches toward Kaijanharju. For winter ski grooming status on the wider network that includes Kievarin kierros latu, Visit Savonlinna points to the regional track service.

Good to know

Combine legs wisely: the full about 25 km day is demanding; Kolmen Kaijan kierros offers a shorter ring in the same Kaijansuo landscape. Shared winter infrastructure means ski-season rules and grooming schedules can differ from summer hiking—confirm on Visit Savonlinna and the track service linked there.
