Sporting Events
Sports Destination created by water
The City of Lahti was built at the intersection of the Salpausselkä ridge and Lake Vesijärvi, where nature and the urban environment merge. The landscape modified by the Ice Age and shaped by water invites us to climb the ridges and return down to the lake shores. It’s hard to stay still.
