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 uninterrupted tracks, of which around 20 kilometres are lighted. 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 sev-eral 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 anyone who abides by the Finnish everyman’s rights. All those who use a lean-to must ensure that the surroundings stay clean.

Snowmobiling, snowshoeing... The versa-tile 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 kilometres starts at the Messilä shore.

In addition to the snowmobiling route, the area 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 Island, enjoy the wintry nature and roast some sausages at a lean-to. If you do not like skiing, you can also enjoy the scenery on snowshoes.

Under the spell of ice fishing Vesijärvi and Päijänne are filled with fish. Here it's definitely worthwhile to try fishing even in winter. Burbot is

Ice fishing


a delicacy especially in late winter. If you get really lucky, the burbot will be full of fish roe. Then you'd just have to cook some blinis and the feast may begin. Ice fishing does not require a fishing licence.

Enjoy skiing Messilä has been chosen as the ski centre of the year, and for good reason. Messilä with its ten slopes and several snow events is the largest and most popular skiing centre in southern Finland where you can try out slalom, telemark skiing, snowboarding and traditional cross-coun-try skiing. You can also drop by one of Messilä’s restaurants to have a cup of cocoa or a tasty lunch. www.messila.fi

Purnu is a relaxed place! Skiing centre Purnu has five slopes, more than 300 beds, a skiing school, lighted skiing tracks, a caravan area and good food – everything you need for a nice day out in the wintertime! www.purnu.com

More than 200-metre cable track CABLE CAPE Wake & Snow Park in Mukkula, Lahti, offers a whole new kind of water sports or winter fun. The track is made more difficult by different kinds of jumps. One of the almost ten metres tall cable masts is on the mainland and the other in nearby Harvasaari island. There is a cable with a draw bar in between the masts. The athlete holds on to a drawstring attached to the draw bar.

When are we going ice skating? There are plenty of skiing tracks and tobogganing hills, and there's no shortage of ice rinks either. There is at least one ice rink in all of the region's munici-palities, which means that there are dozens of rinks! And don't forget the lakes – you can also skate on natural ice. Just grab a picnic lunch and head for the lake.

Skating, skiing, snowboarding Messilä is located in Hollola, approximately eight kilometres from Lahti. At wintertime, slalom skiers, snow-boarders and Telemark skiers storm to the biggest slopes in southern Finland. There is also a sepa-rate slope for children. Messilä includes a skiing school and a ski rental and servicing point. There are a street and a half-pipe for snowboarders.

Things to do for kidsHorse riding The Lahti area also has beauti-ful landscapes for horse riding. The Stable of Messilä Manor, among others, organises horse riding courses for riders of all levels and ages 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.

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 YogaROCKS. Bouldering is a challenging and fun way of climbing that is becoming more and more

popular. The climbers do not use any safety har-nesses; 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.

The Christmas Wonderland introduces local sports clubs and the activity of organisations, and inspires people to move. The target group of this free event consists of families, children and all people young at heart. The outdoor event is organised as a Christmas trail circling around the ski jumping hills of Lahti's Sports Centre. The event is free of charge. Christmas Land on 1.12.2015 from 5 to 7 pm at the Lahti Sports Centre.

The Lahti Children's Winter Carnival will be held already for the 33th time. The carnival pro-gram offers a wide and varied overview of cul-tural skills of the children from the Päijät-Häme region. There will be music, theatre, dance, work-shops, movies and a lot of other nice activities for the whole family. Lahti Children’s Winter Carni-val 23.1.–7.2.2016

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 fro-zen slides and an ice-skating rink in the Family Park. There is easy access to skiing tracks from the park. Entrance free of charge.

Things to do for kids

DID YOU KNOW? The Laune Central Park of more than ten hectares has been constructed close to the entrance to the city on the fields of Laune. The construction was started a little less than 35 years ago when the City Council deci-ded in its 75th anniversary meeting to build an outdoor living room for children and youth of Lahti. The park has been growing ever since, offering free experiences for all of its guests.

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.

Parkour in a Park Lahti has invested in park-our by constructing a parkour park to Laune. The park contains climbing frames and various obsta-cles that can be used for practicing. Parkour is a manoeuvring discipline, originating from the sub-urbs of Paris, which is becoming more and more popular amongst the youth.

A tobogganing region! Since the Lahti region is in the Salpausselkä ridge area, we have excellent tobogganing hills. They are everywhere, and the longest and wildest of them all in Lahti is in Laune Family Park. Depending on how much snow there is, the slide is open from December until March.
