General presentation
Lahti et Päijänne
Design, ski springboards and long waters of the Päijänne join at the edge of the ice ridges.
Lahti Springboard, Sibelius Hall and Päijänne National Park give the most telling landmarks of Lahti and Päijänne. Together, they form a destination where urban life, shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Tremplins de Lahti
The three springboards of Lahti dominate the winter sports stadium; the nearby museum allows you to virtually try the jump and traces Finnish passion for Nordic skiing.
Place indismissible
Sibelius Hall
Sibelius Hall transforms an old sawmill from the port into a concert hall renowned for its acoustics; its large glass façade opens directly onto Lake Vesijärvi.
Nature park
Parc national de Päijänne
The National Park protects islands and sandy ridges in the heart of the second largest Finnish lake; boat or taxi boat are the best ways to capture the scale.
