Bikes to borrow!
Original Sokos Hotel Koljonvirta has two fatbikes and two regular city bikes to borrow. There is a broad selection of cycling routes in Iisalmi, both in the town area and in the surrounding region. In addition to a bike and a helmet, you can get the best cycling tips and a map of the Iisalmi region from reception. The bikes cannot be booked in advance.
Would you like to try a more challenging terrain route on a bike? The Paloisvuori 11-kilometre mountain bike route includes rather large differences in altitude, so the route is varying and physically demanding. Or maybe you would prefer to take a peaceful cycling trip along a gravelled shoreline route? In that case, you should take swimming gear with you if the weather is suitable, as there are a couple of nice beaches along the route.
Our reception staff will be happy to guide you to the best cycling routes, and you can get a paper map of the nearest routes to take with you, if necessary. The constantly updated Lipas database maintained by the University of Jyväskylä is also worth checking out. It is a national location database of sport venues, outdoor routes and recreational areas.
