The route starts and finishes in Imatra and follows the Russian border zone area towards the Saimaa Canal. From the canal, the route continues towards Lappeenranta Fortress and famous Sand Castle at the Lappeenranta Port area. From the Lappeenranta Port the route returns to Imatra over the Saimaa Canal and through winding sandy roads which run next on the shores of Lake Saimaa. The last few kilometres are on sandy roads along the River Vuoksi to Imatra Rapid and finish line. The final route and service points will be announced later. The final route and service points will be announced in autumn 2024. About 75% of the route is on sandy roads.
You can also participate in Saimaa Gravel Tour 150 km with an electric bike.
