We wondered what would be a suitable destination for the smallest ski trip in the family and decided to leave To Aholansaari . The trip started at the Skimac rental shop, where we picked up the missing skis and got them pre-lubricated. The style was traditional. We apricot, whether we are going straight to the trail with Skimac with 5- and 8-year-olds, or whether we would drive to the top of the headland, where it is easy to go to the ice rink. Since the ski trip was the first of the winter, we decided to leave the tip of the peninsula. If the ice is very windy and there are small skiers involved, you can also drive directly to Aholansaari along the ice road by car and ski on a safer route within the island (2 km). The route along the ice from the parking lot to Aholansaari is approx. 1.5km long, and was just right for our smaller skiers. If there is more age, skiing skills and enthusiasm, you can start on the ice trail from the corner of Piazza as well. This will increase the distance travelled. 
After the ice part we had a home-cooked lunch at the main building and skied another 2km loop on Aholansaarfe inside the island, where there were great views and old buildings. At the end of the run was a hut that is always open. There we fried sausages and drank whistle juices. During the ski holidays, the home also sells pancakes, including marble pancakes. 
Then we started the journey home. The boys were also keen to try the unpaved part and we visited some nearby islands on the way home.
Aholansaari is the home island of the 19th-century peasant and leader Paavo Ruotsalainen, now a museum, and home to the atmospheric Paavo’s Inn, as well as the summer chapel of the parish priest Kleofas Hyvämäki, built in the early 1900s. Aholansaari is currently home to a versatile resort.
