What could you do, in the day, in Varkaus?

If you want to practice sport in Varkaus, there are several activities: body building, swimming, skiing, cross-country skiing, sledge, jogging, ice hockey, football, floorball (hockey inside) or bowling.

To practice body building you can go to the university or go to the sport hall for 3.5€. There are devices but also treadmills and bike inside. To go to the sport hall, you have to walk around 40 min. 

The university organized a skiing day, the 19^th march. We didn’t have courses in order to pass the afternoon on the slope located near the university. For 15€, we could ski from 2.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. with skis and chooses lended. There are only three slopes but it was very cool to ski in Finland. The Finnish ski-lift is not like French ski-lift. You can take it with someone else or alone. Also we sledged, it was very funny. We can also practice cross-country skiing. There are many routes in Varkaus. We didn’t try it in Varkaus but we did it in Lapland. 

Nearly every week, guys go to play football or sometimes hockey with Finishes, Russians, Vietnamese or Chineses.

Every week, I go to swim in the same place that the sport hall for the same price. The swimming pool is very clean and there aren’t too much people so you can swim quietly. There are also a waterslide, a jacuzzi, a steam room and a sauna. It was the first time I went to Jacuzzi and steam room. It is an enjoyable relaxation after exercise.

There is also a cinema in Varkaus. Here is the website: http://www.savonkinot.fi/varkaus
