Ähtäri is a popular hunting area among grouse and hare hunters. The area consists mainly of multi‑use forests managed for commercial forestry. The area is covered by an extensive network of forest roads. Ähtäri also offers waters suitable for waterfowl hunting, and with some luck, a patient hunter may even spot a cautious Canadian beaver.
