Postihiihto, which includes a number of route options. The ski tracks pass through the Päijänne national park's landscape from island to island.

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.

Skiing fun Forward, even if it snows like there is no tomorrow! This old Finnish saying is especially 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.

Finlandia-hiihto

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 anyone 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 skiing – Messilä with its ten slopes and several snow events is the largest and most popular skiing centre in southern Finland. You can also drop by one of Messilä’s restaurants to have a cup of hot chocolate or a tasty lunch.

Snowmobiling, snowshoeing... The versatile terrain of Messilä offers the opportunity to practice many other sports apart from slalom – ranging from ice fishing to trek skating. Camping Messilä on the shore of Lake Vesijärvi is the meeting point for snowmobilers in the wintertime. A

did you know? Finland 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 sustainably 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 delicacy, crayfish. All of these can be caught in Päijät-Häme. So let's grab a fishing rod and get out there!

culture

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 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.

sightseeing & events

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 sufficient, 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 Camping 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. Just put an auger into your backpack, and you can catch your lunch from the lake yourself!

In the New Year's Eve we celebrate the past year's end and the beginning of a new one. Some of us spend it in a fine restaurant, others spend the year's last hours in a concert or an opera. Perhaps the nicest way, however, is to celebrate the beginning of a new year with friends while enjoying good food and drinks.

When the old year finally becomes the new, we'll open a bottle of sparkling wine, make our New Year's resolutions and watch fireworks.

A few practical tips for the new year: if you get up early on the first day of the year, you will stay active throughout the year, and if you sleep late, you will be suffering from sleepiness throughout the year. Children will behave well throughout the year if they are not scolded on the New Year's Day. And if the first visitor of the new year is a man, it will be a good year; a woman, in turn, predicts misfortune.

A drink worthy of the man Kokomo Tikibar is both a cocktail bar and a club. Kokomo's list of cocktails is extensive, its interior design is that of an authentic tiki bar and the music suits the atmosphere. The word tiki comes from Polynesian mythology where tiki was the first man. Tiki also reflects a specific culture and lifestyle. The essential element of this culture is enjoying life's small and great pleasures – preferably with a delicious drink in hand.

Päijännetalo and Leisure Fishing Museum Päijännetalo displays, among other things, the history of fishing starting from the Stone Age to the present day, the evolution of Rapala from a fishing hut to a company of worldwide fame, live fishes as well as freshwater and signal crayfishes of Päijänne, and a presentation of the Päijänne Water Tunnel.

Ruins of the Church of St. Lawrence The Church of St. Lawrence in Hämeenkoski was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. The church was used as a place of worship until the 17th century. Studies have shown that the church is almost unique among the 101 medieval stone churches in Finland: it was an octagonal church.

The Church of St. Lawrence is a rare medieval site in Finland. Its history can only be surveyed by means of further archeological studies.

Among other things, the Orimattila Art Museum includes the collections of the Ilmari and Toini Wall-Hakala Art Foundation, as well as the exhibition "Erkkos from Orimattila" presenting the life of brothers J.H., Eero and Rudolf Elias Erkko. Ilmari Wall-Hakala's collection of the art of the 1800s and 1900s includes 173 paintings and drawings, 41 sculptures and etched plates. Among other things, the collection includes paintings by Akseli Gallén-Kallela, Albert Edelfelt, Pekka Halonen and Helene Schjärfbäck.

Local delicacies The Lahti region is full of wonderful restaurants and local specialties.

Päijät-Häme cuisine has always utilised the plentiful bounty of the lakes and forests: pike-perch, lavaret and vendace as well as mushrooms and game.

The farm shop at Okeroinen Mill sells several types of fresh flour in packages of different sizes as well as other farm produce. The flour is ground and packaged weekly, depending on the demand.

The mill adds no additives to its flour. www.kinnarintila.fi/okeroisten-myllypuoti TryffDeli You can find wild truffle and mushroom

treats from Lahti at the Deli-Café TryffDeli in Lahti.

While smelling and tasting truffle products, it’s a good idea to also have a cup of coffee or some lunch soup.

Things to do for kids 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 municipalities, 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, snowboarders and Telemark skiers storm to the biggest slopes in southern Finland. There is also a separate 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.

Skiing is fun! The Ski Museum located in the Sports Centre at the foot of the three magnificent ski jumps offers wintry activities indoors.

In addition to versatile exhibitions, the museum includes a popular section, the activity section where children can try their wings in a safe way in a ski jumping simulator, for example. You can also test your skills in other winter sports: there is an indoor skiing track and a biathlon shooting range.

Horse riding The Lahti area also has beautiful 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

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 thirty years ago when the City Council decided 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.

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 December 2014 from 5 to 7 pm at the Lahti Sports Centre.

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 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.

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. Entrance free of charge.

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 tournaments.

There are twenty fully renovated alleys.

Parkour in a Park Lahti has invested in parkour by constructing a parkour park to Launo. The park contains climbing frames and various obstacles that can be used for practicing. Parkour is a manoeuvring discipline, originating from the suburbs 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.
