Kütioru short hiking trail (2.8 km)

Instead of the longer hiking trail of Kütioru (9.6 km), it is possible to choose the shorter trail, which is about 2.8 km long, indicated with white colour marks. The trail starts at the parking area near Kütiorg Alpine Skiing Centre and leads to the bottom of the valley first.

For those short of time, this 2.8 km loop (white markers) from the Kütioru ski centre is a taste of Kütiorg, the grandest primeval valley in Estonia. The valley is up to 70 metres deep, with steep sides and a narrow floor 250 to 600 metres wide, and its slopes are split by side gullies known locally as 'sori', the largest in Estonia. The trail drops first to the valley floor; its main sight is Suurtsori, a deep V-shaped gully. Some steep sections need care and are slippery when wet.
