The Skaidijärvi Trail is a circular route located north of the Kaldoaivi Wilderness Reserve. The starting point of the trail is along Pulmankijärvi Road, near the village of Nuorgam. The trail begins at the gate of a snowmobile track. Along the path, by the shore of Lake Skaidijärvi, there is a Campfire hut and a campfire site. The trail offers stunning views — in good weather, visibility can extend for hundreds of kilometers. The path is suitable for hikers of all ages.
