Lahti is a major skiing center that is rich in natural beauties. Picturesque parks suitable for walks and outdoor activities can be found both within the city and in its immediate vicinity. For tourists, the port area remains one of the favorite places to walk. Here one can admire moored ships, visit original floating restaurants or take part in a water tour. Many visitors to the city are eager to visit the waterfront in the evening when it is decorated with wonderful illumination.
In the immediate vicinity of the city is the large winter sports center Salpausselka. It is ready to offer first-class ski jumping hills, as well as great slopes for snowboarding. This sports complex regularly hosts international sports competitions, but most of the year it is still available for free visits. Here you can attend a ski school so it would be interesting for beginners to visit the sports center. Sports equipment rentals and ski gear stores are available for experienced athletes. Near the sports center, there are several interesting hiking routes, as well as excellent viewing platforms.
In the warm season, one of the favorite entertainments of visitors to Lahti is watching musical fountains. They are equipped right on the lake near the harbor.
