Route 216 Platinum · Route
Route 216 is a snowy mountain path that leads from Mt. Coronet's northern exit east to Route 217, on the way to Snowpoint City. Deep snow slows you down and you can't ride your bike here. Strong Ace Trainers and Skiers line the route. The Snowbound Lodge in the middle is a run-down inn where you can rest your team for free.
