The city will inform you when the ice trail is ready.

The City of Lahti warns residents against going on the Lake Vesijärvi Ice Trail before it is completed. The city informs that work is starting on the ice route, but snow on the ice is slowing down the consolidation of the ice.

To make the ice layer thicker more quickly, the contractor will first clear the ice path of snow. However, the route will not be ready for use after the plowing, and traffic on the track should be avoided until the city announces that it is ready.

The ice route is ready for use when the ice thickness at the measurement point is 25 cm and the route has been ploughed. Preparatory work will proceed according to weather conditions.

According to the city, a big rail has been observed a week ago in Vesijärvi, which extended from Isosaari to Enonsaari and from Mukkula to the foot. On ice, people must take special care.

Information about the condition of the Vesijärvi ice route, like the skating rink, comes to the Lahti Skate web service as the commissioning approaches.
