GUIDE WINTER 2012–2013 | Sightseeing & Events
During winter the Lahti region is filled with interesting events such as the Stars of the stadium snow-board competition or the leg-endary Salpausselän kisat and Padasjoen Postihiihto. Everyone can surely find something inter-esting to do from this broad offer.
CONTINENTAL CUP IN SKI JUMPING The international ski jumping competition sea-son starts some time before the Salpausselkä competitions, when at the Lahti Grand Ski Jump (HS130) the second round of the FIS Continen-tal Cup in Ski Jumping is held. The Continen-tal Cup is the world’s second-toughest ski jump-ing tour from where new stars rise to compete in the World Cup. The Continental Cup in Ski Jumping will be held in Lahti from 15-16 De-cember 2012.

WINTER EVENTS IN LAHTI REGION
SALPAUSSELKÄ SKI GAMES The history of the Salpausselkä Ski Games is long and colourful. The father of the games was legendary Finnish athlete and a jack of all trades in sports, Lauri “Tahko” Pihkala. He wrote in Suomen Urheilu-lehti magazine on 13 March 1922 that Finland should have an annual global skiing event and that Lahti would be the best venue for such an event.
People in Lahti did not hesitate: Lahden Hiih-toseura skiing club was established three weeks later, on 3 April 1922, and the club’s primary pur-pose was arranging an annual skiing event equal-ling Holmenkollen. The club succeeded in this, because Salpausselkä Ski Games grew into a gre-at annual event that has made Lahti renown all around the world.
In 2013 the games will take place, as usual, from 8 to 10 March 2013. All in all eight world cup tournaments will be held in Lahti. The ski jumping program includes Saturday evenings’ team ski jump and the individual competition on a large hill. In cross-country skiing the disciplines are men’s and women’s traditional cross-country as well as free style sprints.

Province of wellbeing and eventsThe strengths of the Lahti region include its lo-cation, the nature and long traditions in arrang-ing events. Lately, wellbeing tourism has become an important sector in addition to regular tour-ism – there are more elderly people in Finland and they have time to invest in themselves. The term wellbeing tourism includes a variety of busi-
nesses from Tallukka Wellbeing Centre to Paju-lahti Sports Centre, Vierumäki Sports Academy, Messilä Manor, Hotel Kumpeli and a number of small day spa and yoga businesses, not to for-get culture and the opportunities offered by the wonderful nature of the region.

GUIDE WINTER 2012–2013 | Water & Nature
ICE SWIMMING WILL KEEP YOU ALERT ALL DAY LONG There are three places in Lahti where you can dip into an icy lake: at Mukkula, Mytäjäinen and Joutjärvi. There are fixed and heated dress-ing rooms in Joutjärvi and Mytäjäinen, and a mov-able “dressing room barrack” is brought to Muk-kula when the swimming season starts. You can get a key to the Mukkula, Mytäjäinen and Joutjär-vi dressing rooms from ice swimmers’ association Lahden Avantouimarit ry.
SKIING FUN Forward, even if it snows like there is no tomorrow! This old Finnish saying is espe-cially well suited for the Lahti region. There are almost 170 kilometres of lighted and unlighted

skiing tracks in Lahti alone, of which around 145 kilometres are part of the Salpausselkä ridge track network. You can start skiing on the tracks used in the Finlandia Skiing Event and the Salpausselkä Ski Games right from the yard of Messilä Manor. There are a total of 70 kilometres of uninterrupt-ed tracks, of which around 20 kilometres are light-ed. You can take a leisurely skiing trip to Pirunpesä (the Devil’s Nest), for example. There is a place to build a fire close to the natural formation.
ROASTING SAUSAGES AT A LEAN-TO There are several lean-tos in the Lahti region. You can ski or walk there to have a packed lunch or make soot pot coffee, if you like. The lean-tos are open to an-yone who abides by the Finnish everyman’s rights. All those who use a lean-to must ensure that the surroundings stay clean.
FASCINATING SLALOM Slalom, Telemark skiing, snowboarding and traditional cross-country ski-ing – Messilä with its ten slopes and several snow events is the largest and most popular skiing cen-tre in southern Finland. You can also drop by one of Messilä’s restaurants to have a cup of hot choc-olate or a tasty lunch.

GUIDE INFOFinland is one of the best fishing countries in the world and the plan is to retain it as such. WWF Finland aims at making Finland the first state in the world where only sustaina-bly caught and produced fish is sold by the end of 2015. WWF's fish guide classifies fish based on their sustainability – i.e. how the fish is being caught and how large the population is – using the traffic light principle. Some of the sustainable species on the list are perch, pike, pike perch, bream and the autumn del-icacy, crayfish. All of these can be caught in Päijät-Häme. So let's grab a fishing rod and get out there!
SNOWMOBILING, SNOWSHOEING...The ver-satile terrain of Messilä offers the opportunity to practice many other sports apart from slalom – ranging from ice fishing to trek skating. Camp-ing Messilä on the shore of Lake Vesijärvi is the meeting point for snowmobilers in the winter-time. A snowmobile route of a little over 200 kilo-metres, maintained by snowmobiling association Päijät-Hämeen Moottorikelkkailijat ry, starts at the Messilä shore.
In addition to the snowmobiling route, the ar-ea includes wonderful skiing routes. There are around sixty kilometres of regularly maintained skiing tracks. If you do not consider that suffi-cient, you can always ski on the ice of the lake when the late winter sun shines. A suitable trip for a Sunday afternoon starts at the Messilä Camp-ing shore from where you can ski to Enonsaari Is-land, enjoy the wintry nature and roast some sau-sages at a lean-to.
If you do not like skiing, you can also enjoy the scenery on snowshoes. Just put an auger into your backpack, and you can catch your lunch from the lake yourself!
ICE FISHING Lake Vesijärvi and Lake Päijänne are
filled of fish. Here one should definitely try fish-ing even in winter. Burbot is a delicacy especially in late winter. And if you get really lucky, the bur-bot will be full of fish roe. Then you should just cook some blinis and start the feast. Take good supplies with you as food enjoyed in nature tastes the best. For ice fishing there is no need for a fish-ing licence.

When visiting the harbour, you should also eat at one of the restaurants. In addition to Restaurant Casseli there are several restaurant ships.

The harbour area also includes two other sites of the themed park: a lighted bus stop designed by Jap-anese Kengo Kuma and a wooden spiral designed by Australian Richard Leplastier.

PIANO PAVILION – The flagship of the wood archi-tecture park, Café-Restaurant Piano Pavilion was de-signed by architect Gert Wingårdh. The stunningly beautiful café manufactured from wood and glass is partially on top of the lake at the Lahti Passenger
Harbour. Piano Pavilion’s doors are open daily dur-ing the summer, starting on May 1st.
WOOD DESIGN AT PROPUU – ProPuu Associa-tion of Lahti was established in 1997. It is a guild and meeting place for cabinet makers, designers and other wood sector professionals. ProPuu is located in Tikkula, a former matchstick factory at the Lah-ti Passenger Harbour. The wonderful building hous-es the association’s gallery, store, offices, designers’ workspaces and a carpenter’s shop.
LANU SCULPTURE PARK – The sculpture park of artist and professor Olavi Lanu is located within a walking distance from the Passenger Harbour in the Kariniemi Park. Twelve human figures manufactured from reinforced concrete have been placed in the wonderful lakeside nature.
THE WATER ORGAN is a musical fountain built by energy company Lahti Energia in 1997 next to pond Pikku-Vesijärvi close to the Passenger Harbour. Wa-ter, lights and music are combined into a delightful symphony that is at its best during the dark evenings of the autumn and winter. Shows are also available on order.

PUT YOUR SKATES ON AND GET ON THE ICE! There are 25 outdoor ice rinks in Lahti. The most important and versatile sports centres are Kisapuisto Park, Radiomäki Hill, Kivimaa, Muk-kula, Kerinkallio and Sepänniemi.
SKATING, SKIING, SNOWBOARDING Messilä is located in Hollola, on the Salpausselkä ridge on the shore of Lake Vesijärvi, approximately eight kilometres from Lahti. In the wintertime, slalom skiers, snowboarders and Telemark ski-ers storm to the biggest slopes in southern Fin-land. There is also a separate slope for children. Messilä includes a skiing school and a ski rent-al and servicing point. There are a street and a half-pipe for snowboarders.
SKIING FUN! The Ski Museum located in the Sports Centre at the foot of the three magnificent ski jumps offers wintry activities indoors. In addi-tion to versatile exhibitions, the museum includes a popular section, the activity section where chil-dren can try their wings in a safe way in a ski jump-ing simulator, for example. You can also test your skills in other winter sports: there is an indoor ski-ing track and a biathlon shooting range.
HORSE RIDING The Lahti area also has beau-tiful landscapes for horse riding. The Stable of Messilä Manor, among others, organises horse riding courses for riders of all levels and ag-es year-round. In addition to traditional riding, in the Lahti area you can also enjoy riding treks on Icelandic horses. The treks are suitable both for horse riders and for those who are interested in hiking in the wild. Icelandic horses with their small size and strength are excellent for cross-country riding.
MAKE YOUR OWN TV SHOW The collection of the Radio and TV Museum includes more than 10,000 objects, almost 5,000 photographs, ap-proximately 6,000 books and magazines as well as audiovisual materials and archives that include things that interest children and adults. You can try making a TV show.
CLIMBING FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY! In Lahti at YogaRocks, you can try out how high you can climb a wall. There are several climbing walls for beginners and more skilled climbers at Yoga-Rocks. Bouldering is a challenging and fun way of climbing that is becoming more and more

popular. Bouldering is climbing on walls less than five metres tall. The climbers do not use any safety harnesses; instead, safety is ensured by placing thick padding underneath the wall. Wall climbing is a sport suitable for children and adults alike. If you have not climbed before, an instructor will show you the ropes.
CHILDREN'S WINTER CARNIVAL will be cel-ebrated for the 30th time. The carnival pro-gramme brings together a wide and varied overview on the Päijät Häme children’s cultural know-how.

A versatile park area has been
constructed on a field in the
Laune district of Lahti. You can
do different kinds of sports, enjoy
the beautiful nature or have a pic-
nic lunch at a barbecue hut. Chil-
dren will enjoy the Laune Family
Park, which includes a water park,
a game area and a traffic town.
In addition to the Family Park, the central park area includes a bowling alley, a roller skating track, a Frisbee golf area, a dog park, a training ice rink, a circus field, a miniature golf field and a skating park of 1,500 square metres. Laune Central Park won the tenth place in a competition where peo-ple voted for the Top 10 beautiful locations in Päi-jät-Häme in 2008.
THE FAMILY PARK at Kaarikatu 26 is a place for the entire family, with experiences both outdoors and indoors. The park includes slides, climbing equipment, a traffic town, cottages for hobbies and a fortress. In the wintertime, there are frozen slides and an ice-skating rink in the Family Park. There is easy access to skiing tracks from the park. 100,000 people visit the Family Park every year. Entrance free of charge.
SKATING AND ROLLERBLADING The Laune Skating Park was designed by professional skat-er Tom Stankevitz, who has also had international fame. The versatile staircases, ramps and slides of the park have been praised by local skaters. There is a 230-metre roller skating track going around the Skating Park. The track meets all internation-al requirements.
LAHTI BOWLING ALLEY Lahti Bowling Alley at the edge of the Laune Central Park offers a new arena for all types of bowling, from children’s birthday parties to glow bowling evenings and company bowling excursions to international bowling tour-naments. There are twenty fully renovated alleys.
LAUNE CENTRAL PARK

PARKOUR IN A PARK Lahti has invested in parkour by constructing a parkour park to Launo. The park contains climb-ing frames and various ob-stacles that can be used for practicing. Parkour is a ma-noeuvring discipline, orig-inating from the suburbs of Paris, which is becom-ing more and more popular amongst the youth. The purpose is to move by climbing, jumping and leaping through the environment by using walls, rails, and other supporting structures. You can find more information about the activity at www.dash.fi
THE CITY’S BEST SLIDE The longest and wild-est slide of Lahti is right next to the event field. The City of Lahti builds a five metres long bidi-rectional slide for the children each winter. De-pending on how much snow there is, the slide is open from December until March.
The Laune Central Park of more than ten hecta-res has been constructed close to the entrance to the city on the fields of Laune. The construc-tion was started a little less than thirty years ago when the City Council decided in its 75th anni-versary meeting to build an outdoor living room for children and youth of Lahti. The selected pla-ce is a bottom of a lake that dried out 11,000 years ago close to the downtown area.

Pajulahti Sports Institute – laid-back sports centre in the middle of a splendid natural setting
GUIDE ADDRESS
Pajulahti Sports Institute is a diverse training, leisure sport and ed-ucation centre. Pajulahti Sports Institute offers facilities and equip-ment for all kinds of sports enthusiasts: in addition to the 11,000 m2 Pajulahti Hall (soccer, track and field), ball games and gymnastics halls, a gym, an indoor swimming pool, an ice rink, indoor and out-door tennis courts, track and field sports facilities, marked skiing routes and nature trails in the forests, canoeing routes, etc.
Accommodation is available for 450 people (+250 extra beds). Our college type rooms of various sizes are equipped with all nec-essary amenities. Our hotels Rantapaju, Hopeapaju and Kangaspa-ju offer a more luxurious alternative. In addition to basic equipment (toilet, shower, TV), these hotel rooms also have a refrigerator, cof-fee maker, kettle, microwave, a clothes dryer and a laptop with an Internet connection. 13 rooms also have a sauna.
Our breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets offer a variety of deli-cious food. We also offer catering services for groups from coffee services at meetings to all kinds of festivities. For these occasions, our restaurant with its lake view is an ideal venue!
Close to nature Pajulahti Sports Institute is also an excellent venue choice for conferences. Our conference facilities include 20 smaller group work rooms, an auditorium and a sports hall with 350 seats. The conferences can be complemented by additional programme provided by our professional sports instructors, nature guides and adventure providers. After an atmospheric evening at a "laavu" (lean-to), canoe trip or energetic games, it's lovely to enjoy the sauna and good food at our shore-side saunas!
