Sports Tourism in the Lahti Region
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.
Skiing, hiking, trail running, cycling and open water swimming – welcome to explore Lahti region like locals do!
