Having started your way from the stadium, you can choose yourself a suitable route for your walks. All the routes are of different length and difficulty level from simple walking along an asphalted trail or a forest path to the route of city hiking. This route starts near the Vetluzhanka skiing stadium and finishes near the GTO trail. Its length is a bit over two kilometers, and the height difference  — 220 meters.

From here you can go to the eco-park Gremyachaya Griva and other viewing grounds and routes, passing through this district. In the Krasnoyarsk Hiking mobile application, you can find this route in the maps in the section of the Gremyachaya Griva eco-park.

In winter period, you can also use cross-country ski rental and ski along the tracks of different length – from 1 to 20 km, which are constantly refreshed by a snowcat. It’s funny and sassily to come on down the safe slide on snow-tubes and sledges. You can ride a snow mobile or a quad bike with the breeze (but only along the specially equipped tracks and use the services of the companies, organizing these activities!), and rent a gazebo, a tent, a wagon and cook tasty barbeque or another dish on the equipped mangal.

In summer time, you can go walking along forest paths or ride a bicycle. Near the stadium, there is a rental store, if you don’t have your own iron horse.
