Pumptrack

Come and have a go at keeping your balance on the bouncing, tilting bends! Jämsä’s super-popular twisty and rolling pump track can be found right by the city centre, opposite the Children’s Traffic Park.

On this track, the longest of its kind in Finland, you can test your balance on either a normal bike, BMX bike, scooter, skateboard or roller skates. Remember to use a helmet riding on the track – and protective pads as well, of course. Next to the track there is also a graffiti wall where you can give free rein to your artistic skills. The track is open from spring to autumn and is free for use by speed-lovers and keep-fit enthusiasts alike, both young and old.

Staff can provide patches and other first aid supplies for minor scratches.
