Description

The Solvalla–Haukkalampi connecting trail is about 3.4 km as one point-to-point hike between the Haukkalampi edge of Nuuksio National Park and the Solvalla–Haltia recreation gate in Espoo. Metsähallitus publishes the official trail sheet on Luontoon.fi under the Finnish name Solvalla-Haukkalampi yhdysreitti, with the English portal title Haltia–Haukkalampi Connecting Trail for the same route id. Haltia.com’s Retkelle Nuuksioon introduction repeats that this connector is marked with an orange square and a black centre line, calls the profile demanding in places because of climbs and stair flights, and reminds walkers that they can use the lakeshore and pier at Lake Pitkäjärvi for a natural break. On the ground the path mixes forest footpath, wooden duckboards over wet hollows, and long metal or timber stairways on the steepest pitches, including a well-known steel staircase stretch beside the Nuuksio road crossing. The line crosses Nuuksiontie, threads mature spruce–birch forest, drops to Pitkäjärvi’s north shore, and climbs again before joining the wider Haukkalampi trail network. Retkipaikka published Paul Stevens’ morning account of following the orange blazes out from Haltia, listening for songbirds over Myllypuro, and using the long flights of steps as the main workout—worth reading for pacing and seasonal colour even though that outing later loops other lakes. Our map ties the route to practical stops along the way. Near Haukkalampi, Haukkalampi iso pysäköintialue sits within a short walk of the trail, Tyynelä kuivakäymälä offers a toilet stop roughly a kilometre in, and Haukkalampi - Haltia yhdysreitin melontalaituri gives canoeists a launch beside the path. Around Solvalla and Haltia you pass Folkhälsan’s sports institute buildings (Solvallan urheiluopisto / Voimistelusali, Solvallan urheiluopisto / Liikuntahalli, Solvallan urheiluopisto / Kuntosali, Solvallan urheiluopiston tekonurmikenttä, Solvallan urheiluopiston yleisurheilukenttä), Haltia pysäköintialue for drivers, Suomen luontokeskus Haltia itself, Solvallan uimapaikka, Haltian kota Espoo for shelter views, Maahisenkierros esteetön pysäköintialue where accessible parking is provided uphill, Laskettelukeskus Solvalla-Swinghill at the ski hill, Karjakaivon ulkoilualue / Ulkokuntoilupaikka for outdoor exercise equipment, and Metsähallitus’ Aarnituli varaustulentekopaika with its Aarnituli varaustulentekopaikan kuivakäymälä—read more on our pages for the nature centre, kota, and reservable fireplace when you plan food or overnight links. Junctions meet several other named routes: Reitti 2000 follows the regional cycling spine where it coincides with this corridor, and Punarinnan kierros together with Päivättärenpolku fan out from the Haltia gate for shorter loops. Solvallan urheiluopiston latu (3km/p+v/valaistu) shares the same yard in winter as a groomed ski line—keep winter right-of-way rules in mind if you step across packed tracks. Espoo belongs to the Helsinki capital area; Uusimaa is the wider coastal region that holds both city forests and this national-park edge.

Length & route

The trail is about 3.4 km point-to-point on one continuous line. Terrain alternates between forest path, duckboards, lake-shore walking, and stairways on the steepest slopes; Metsähallitus describes the profile as demanding in places with stairs on the sharpest pitches.

Getting there

Haltia.com and field bloggers converge on public transport bus 245 (Espoo centre direction) with stop Haltia beside Nuuksiontie 84, Espoo, and on the large Haltia customer parking for drivers. At the Haukkalampi end you normally aim for Haukkalampi iso pysäköintialue or the smaller Haukkalammen lots described around Haukanpesä; Natura Viva, which runs the lakeshore services, publishes its own access notes for the Haukkalampi–Haltia connector.

Good to know

Nuuksio National Park rules apply along the forest sections: keep dogs leashed and carry out litter. Seasonal café, rental, and sauna services at Haukkalampi follow the commercial operator’s opening times. Dedicated YouTube searches did not return a clip whose title clearly isolated only this named connector, so video is omitted for now.
