Terrain Although the competition center of Valio-Jukola is in close vicinity of population centers, orienteering is not less demanding than in sparsely populated areas. Demanding terrains of Sotunki and Sipoonkorpi offer great orienteering experiences and the cources designed by experienced designers make sure that the upcoming orienteering competition will be challenging. |
