Vihti Biking Trails

Nummela 11 km cycling loop is about 11.4 km as a circuit through Nummela in Vihti, tying together the town’s sports belt, the wooded ridge at Nummelanharju, Pajuniityn recreation fields, and the Enäranta shoreline on Lake Enäjärvi. Visit Vihti’s Nummelanharju page describes wide, well-kept gravel fitness trails (pururata) of about 2.5–10 km on the dry pine heath of the ridge—shared by cyclists, walkers, and runners—with some hilly sections and lighting on part of the network; winter grooming turns many of those corridors into ski tracks, and live trail status is published via the municipality’s winter sports service linked from that page(1). The City of Vihti places Nummela alongside Nuuksio National Park and municipal hiking, canoeing, and cycling networks as a county where nature stays close to everyday life(2). Away from the ridge, the loop uses local streets and paths past schools, ball fields, and services, then opens into Pajuniityn MultiGolfPark and obstacle-course pockets profiled on Visit Vihti’s Pajuniityn Bootcamp page(4). For a broader picture of long road and MTB circuits that touch Vihti, Jälki.fi’s Vihti area index lists community-contributed rides from fatbike loops toward Hanko to Sääksi-area MTB classics—useful if you want to stitch a longer day from the same town(3). Starting from the Nummela station block, the first kilometres thread the Kaarenkierros corner near Väinämöinen sports courts, pass Nummelan työväentalo, and climb toward the Nummelanharju cluster where Vihdin uimahalli, Nummelanharjun kuntoportaat, and the outdoor gym on the NLA fitness loop sit within a few hundred metres of each other. That is the natural place to join Kaarenkierroksen lähiliikuntareitti for a micro-loop or to peel off toward Nummelan kuntorata 5 km, valaistu, Nummelan kuntorata lentokentänpuoli, and Tykilumilatu when you want a lit gravel lap or winter ski geometry instead of this mixed loop. After the airport-side fitness strip—where winter crews sometimes flood a 750 m tour-skating lane on the airfield—the line drops toward light-industry roads and Pajuniityn, passing padel halls and outdoor courts before Muistolanpuisto’s gym island, Linnanniitun kuntoportaat, and a simple Laavu shelter in the same kilometre band. Multigolf, an obstacle play track, and more ball fields follow as you curve back toward housing. Around Enäranta you ride the lake margin where the public beach, sand court, and skating slab give a clear swim-and-picnic pause on warm days. The northern closing arc crosses Ratapuisto’s artificial turf, Kuoppanummi schools and ice halls, and finally Health Club and station-side gyms—so the ring doubles as a sampler of Nummela’s public sport geography. Treat this as a shared-use community circuit: yield on narrow path shoulders, ring a bell before passing runners on pururata sections, and keep speed sensible where children cross toward Pajuniityn or schools.

Kelkkalantie pyöräilyreitti is about 6.9 km point-to-point through Nuuksio National Park on the Vihti side of the lake plateau, mostly on the forest maintenance road known in park materials as Kelkkalan huoltotie together with neighbouring permitted cycling corridors such as Kurjolammentie(2). Metsähallitus reminds visitors that in the national park you may cycle only on routes marked for cycling—mainly gravel roads, low-standard cart tracks, and short path sections that suit a normal bike if you are ready to walk short steep or rooty bits(1)(2). The wider Nuuksio cycling network is not separate bike infrastructure; national cycling route 2 crosses the park from Siikajärvi past Haukkalampi toward the Salmi area(2), and this segment links the Valklampi trailhead cluster with Kattila and Haukkalampi amenities. For closures, etiquette with other visitors, and the definitive map, start from the Nuuksio cycling pages on Luontoon.fi(1). The City of Vihti adds municipal outdoor context on its retkeily pages(3). Vihti sits on the national-park edge and shares many of these trailheads. Most riders begin from Valklammentien pysäköintialue or Kurjolammentien uusi pysäköintialue, then roll past Tikankolo vuokratupa with Saarilampi tulentekopaikka and Saarilampi telttailualue about a kilometre out—handy for a swim stop or picnic before Oravankolo vuokratupa and Oravankolon sauna appear in the spruce forest around 2.4 km. The middle kilometres climb and dip through typical Nuuksio moraine woodland before Kattilan alempi pysäköintialue, Kattilan uusi pysäköintialue, Kattilan rantasauna, Kattila savusauna, Kattila varauskota, Kattila torppa, Kattila ylempi tulentekopaikka, Kattila niityn varattava telttailualue and Haukanholman laituri string together services where many people pause to eat, book a sauna, or launch a small craft. Near the ride’s end, Haukanholman telttailualue, Haukanholman keittokatos, Haukanholman tulentekopaikka, Haukkalampi Haukanpesä varaussauna, Haukkalammen pieni pysäköintialue and Haukkalampi iso pysäköintialue cluster at Haukkalampi—one of the busiest gateways to the park and rich with day-trip infrastructure Jonna Saari describes for winter visits (the same fireplaces, cooking shelters, and reservation saunas matter in summer too)(4). On foot- and bike-friendly connections, Klassarinkierros shares the Valklampi parking and Tikankolo huts; Yhdysreitti Kattila - Mustalampi meets this line at Haukanholman laituri if you want to continue toward Mustalammen keittokatos; Haukkalampi pyöräilyreitti and Haukkalammen saaren polku sit a few hundred metres away at Haukkalampi for short add-on loops. Ride expectantly, brake for hikers on shared sections, and carry a map because these roads are not marked like a city bike path(1)(2). If you need a fatbike or e-fatbike near the park, Suomen luontokeskus Haltia rents them by the hour or day from its shop(5).

For the marked trail corridor and map entry maintained in the capital region, start from the City of Helsinki’s Reitti 2000 listing on the service map(1). Visit Espoo’s cycling feature introduces the wider loop through Nuuksio landscapes and names Suomen luontokeskus Haltia among good stops(2). The biking route on our map is about 64,7 km as one continuous ride starting in the Vihti area and running west toward the Lohja direction along the same Reitti 2000 system. In headline terms the full Reitti 2000 is often described as roughly 110 km on a metropolitan loop through Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, and Vihti(2)(3), while the segment here is useful if you want a long day ride or the western leg without committing to the entire circle from Laakso. Early kilometres weave Takala and Kattila forest and the Salmi recreation area: you soon pass Takalan laavu and meet Salmen ulkoilualue with cooking shelters, beaches, and parking at Paratiisi, plus shorelines at Iso-Parikas and Vähä-Parikas—easy places to pause for food or a swim when conditions allow. The walking route Salmen ulkoilualue - Ulkoilureitti 10,7 km (Tapio trail) and the short Salmintie pyöräilyreitti share many of the same outdoor points, and the hiking path Takalan polku branches toward Kattila with reservable kota, saunas, and tent spots if you want to stitch in an overnight. Toward Nuuksio the trail character shifts between gravel outdoor routes and shorter technical trail stretches; several sources note a notable trail section with roots and rocks between Lakisto and Ruskela on the full loop(3), and sensible mountain bike or gravel tyres are a practical choice throughout. Near Haukkalampi, cycling is restricted on the narrow footpath leg—riders follow the signed gravel detour along Kattilantie toward Haltia(3). About 30 km along the route you reach Solvalla Sport Institute, Suomen luontokeskus Haltia, Haltia parking, and Solvallan uimapaikka; Sorvalammen uimaranta lies a little farther east in Espoo for another swim stop(2). Beyond Haltia the ride continues on forest and gravel roads with steady elevation changes; Visit Espoo warns of steep climbs and descents toward Pirttimäki for riders who complete the Luukki–Haltia–Luukki circuit on the full network(2). The western end of this segment approaches built-up Lohja; Kantakaupungin rantareitti links toward central Helsinki if you plan onward urban riding(3). Marking is widely described as blue-and-white ribbon and signposting, with occasional unclear junctions where a GPS track or map helps(3)(4). READY / RUN’s fastest-known-time notes reinforce that on the ground markings and maps do not always match perfectly(4). Uusimaa ties these municipalities together; Vihti is the administrative home for this catalogue entry. For closures, etiquette near hikers, and any service changes, rely on the city and park pages(1)(2) rather than third-party tracks alone. Equipment hire and guided fatbike options near the Nuuksio section are summarized under Where to rent equipment and Guided tours, each with operator booking pages linked.

This signed sightseeing loop in Kirkonkylä, Vihti, in Uusimaa is about 8.6 km end to end as one continuous ring; brochures and tourism copy often round it to about 9 km. For downloadable maps and the current route package, start from Visit Vihti’s guided cycling routes hub(1). A 2021 local write-up quotes the municipality’s sport lead describing the Kirkonkylä line as one of two new “get to know your home village” cycling products (the other is in Nummela): roughly twenty stopping points introduce local sights, five or six of them carry on-ground guide signs, colour coding separates the sights on printed maps, and QR codes in the field were being added so riders can send feedback. The piece notes start mats at the Kirkonkylä sports area maintenance building off Nietoinkuja and a finale at a playground that hosts short outdoor exercise stations(2). Riding here feels like a town-scale circuit rather than backcountry singletrack. From the Nietoinkuja sports cluster you quickly pass Parkour-puisto Kirkonkylä, Vihdin kirkonkylän urheilukenttä, Vihdin kirkonkylän liikuntahalli, Kirkonkylän luistelurata 400 m, Urheilukentän ulkokuntoilupaikka, and Vihdin kirkonkylän tenniskenttä—useful if you want a warmup or a family pause before rolling on. Two swimming beaches, Haudankallion uimaranta Vihti and Vihdin kirkonkylän uimaranta, sit beside Kirkkojärventie less than a kilometre into the loop; Vihdin beacvolleykentät lies a little farther along the shore band. Niemenharju–Niuhala–Kyläaukio style streets link you toward Liikuntakeskus Poseidon and Balanssi Vihti, then longer straight east-ish legs along Nurmijärventie bring you past Vihdin työväentalo Puistola and Männikön hiekkakenttä before the line turns back toward schoolyards and the evening-sports pocket around Pappilanpellon koulun hiekkakenttä, Pappilanpellon koulun liikuntasali, Vihti kk kaukalo, and Vihti kk luistelukenttä. If you want to stitch outings together, Kirkonkylän kuntorata Vihti shares the same sports block for a short fitness run, while the national long-distance line Pyöräillen Hämeessä Härkätietä pitkin, Häme touches the Kirkonkylä service strip on its way west—handy context if you are planning a longer bike tour but still want this loop as a local warm-up. In winter, koira latu Vihti starts within a few hundred metres of the outdoor-gym corner for skiers who mix modes. Regional background on how Vihti intends to grow walking and cycling networks sits in the municipality’s sustainable mobility planning document on Doria(3). Our own route page mirrors the mapped geometry for on-screen planning(4).
