The ten lighted slalom slopes of Snow Centre Messilä ensure that you do not have to go farther than Hollola to find the joy of downhill skiing. The region’s several wellbeing centres, such as Messilä, Tallukka, Kumpeli, Vierumäki and Pajulahti, offer versatile services for your entire family.

ling Holmenkollen. The club succeeded in this, because Salpausselkä Ski Games grew into a great annual event that has made Lahti renown all around the world.

In 2012 the games will take place, as usual, from 2 to 4 March 2012. 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 pursuit and women’s pursuit as well as traditional style sprints.

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 Urheilulehti 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 purpose was arranging an annual skiing event equal-

FINLANDIA SKIING EVENT The Finlandia Skiing Event from Hämeenlinna to Lahti was arranged for the first time in 1974. More than a thousand skiers participated that time. This was much more than the arrangers expected. Olympic winners and other celebrities were also seen, and the mascot of the event was a polar bear that had been wakened from its hibernation.

The popularity of the Finlandia-hiihto skiing competition has remained steady and all in all 7.000 skiers are expected to participate in the event in spring 2012. The traditional skiing competition will take place on Saturday 25.2. and the

WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL HELSINKI 2012 In 2012 Helsinki will be the World Design Capital together with Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Lahti. The theme of the World Design Capital is Open Helsinki – Embedding Design in Life.

Every second year a city is appointed as the World Design Capital. The selected city exploits exceptionally well the design in its cultural, social and economic development. The World Design Capital nomination is granted by the ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design) and IDA (International Design Alliance).

AN OPEN CITY Cities belong to their inhabitants. Design Capital offers means to participate in the improvement of our environment and development of our cities. In an open city the people listen to the city and the city listens to its people.

GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY Design is an international language. With design we can improve the everyday life of people across the limits of countries, languages and political borders. In the future, thinking of design will be playing an even more significant role as the instigator and bearer of a change by sustainable development.

16 www.lahtitravel.fi

ROOTS OF THE NEW GROTH We want to extend the meaning of the word “design”. Design can be an ergonomic coffee mug or a new type of queuing in a health centre. Design at its best consists of functional things. We believe that design also helps enterprises to grow, as in the future new jobs will be created through creativity and innovation.

MUOTOHUOLTAMO Design Stop (Muoto­ huoltamo) is the Design Capital’s meeting place which brings visibility to the local, national and international designers. In the Fashion Garage everyone can examine and participate in the Design Capital’s activities.

In Lahti the program of the Design Capital includes design education and training as well as projects regarding the city centre development and industrial design. During this year we will bring attention to the local design and designers in the Fashion Garage and in several national and international events.

According to the Geological Survey of Finland, 15– 30% of the water dates back to the ice age or even farther back. This means that the Vellamo water is in average 5,000 to 8,000 years old.

GUIDE WINTER 2011-2012 | GUIDE RECOMMENDS

GUIDE recommends!

Skiing is fun Skiing builds up fitness more effectively than any other form of exercise. It does not require great power or iron-like strength. So, put your skis on and go to your local track to slide and enjoy the beautiful scenery. At the same time, you can test which style of cross-country skiing suits you bestclassical or skating.

36  www.lahtitravel.fi

Lahti, itself, possesses almost 170 km of both lit and unlit ski trails over varying terrain.

Collect a ski-trail map from Lahti Travel on Rautatienkatu and head to your closest trail!

GUIDE WINTER 2011-2012 | Water & nature

WINTER SPORTS Thanks to the Salpausselkä ridges, the Lahti region enjoys good winters. You can ski, skate, snowshoe or just sit by a fire to enjoy the quiet, snowy woods.

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 dressing rooms in Joutjärvi and Mytäjäinen, and a movable “dressing room barrack” is brought to Mukkula when the swimming season starts. You can get a key to the Mukkula, Mytäjäinen and Joutjärvi 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 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.

38 www.lahtitravel.fi

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 snowmobile route of a little over 200 kilometres, maintained by snowmobiling association Päijät-Hämeen Moot-

torikelkkailijat ry, 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!

ICE FISHING Lake Vesijärvi and Lake Päijänne are filled of fish. Here one should definitely try fishing even in winter. Burbot is a delicacy especially in late winter. And if you get really lucky, the burbot 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 fishing licence. www.lahtiguide.fi 39

GUIDE WINTER 2011-2012 | Water & nature

PASSENGER HARBOUR Lahti Passenger Harbour has been called the public living room of Lahti. It is the stage of many events in the summer and winter.

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 Japanese Kengo Kuma and a wooden spiral designed by Australian Richard Leplastier.

A panoramic resting platform has been designed to the Kariniemi hill by the Swiss Peter Zumthor. The object is supposed to be completed during 2011.

SIBELIUS HALL – The window’s of Lahti’s pride, the flagship of modern Finnish wood construction, Congress and Concert Centre Sibelius Hall sparkle right next to Lake Vesijärvi.

The renovated lakeside hall hou­ses a pleasant restaurant. You can study the architecture of Sibelius Hall on guided house tours available on order.

PIANO PAVILION – The flagship of the wood architecture park, Café-Restaurant Piano Pavilion was designed 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 during the summer, starting on May 1st.

WOOD DESIGN AT PROPUU – ProPuu Association 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 Lahti Passenger Harbour. The wonderful building houses 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. Water, 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. www.lahtiguide.fi 41

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 picnic lunch at a barbecue hut. Children 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 people voted for the Top 10 beautiful locations in Päijät-Häme in 2008.

46 www.lahtitravel.fi

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 skater 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 international requirements.

THE CITY’S BEST SLIDE The longest and wildest slide of Lahti is right next to the event field. The City of Lahti builds a five metres long bidirectional slide for the children each winter. Depending on how much snow there is, the slide is open from December until March.

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.

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

GUIDE INFO 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 selected place is a bottom of a lake that dried out 11,000 years ago close to the downtown area.

TRUTH OR TALE? Lahti Children’s Winter Carnival will be organized in January already for the 29th time and this time its subject is “Truth or Tale?”. There will be music, puppet theatre, dance, workshops, movies, theatre, exhibitions, and a lot of other things to see for the whole family. The carnival program will be announced in December at: www.lahti.fi/kulttuuritoimi. Lahti Children’s Winter Carnival / Lahden Lasten Talvikarnevaali 28.1.–12.2.2012 MAKE YOUR OWN TV SHOW The collection of the Radio and TV Museum includes more than 10,000 objects, almost 5,000 photographs, approximately 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.

SKIING 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.

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. 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.

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 horse riders and for those who are interested in hiking in the wild. Icelandic horses with their small size and strength are excellent for crosscountry riding.

GUIDE recommends!

Province of wellbeing and events The strengths of the Lahti region include its location, the nature and long traditions in arranging events. Lately, wellbeing tourism has become an important sector in addition to regular tourism – there are more elderly people in Finland and they have time to invest in themselves. The term wellbeing tourism includes a variety of businesses from Tallukka Wellbeing Centre to Pajulahti Sports Centre, Vierumäki Sports Academy, Messilä Manor, Hotel Kumpeli and a number of small day spa and yoga businesses not to forget the region’s cultural offerings and the opportunities provided by nature.

GUIDE INFO Rapala’s legendary lure was created in Päijät-Häme in 1936. Lauri Rapala studied fish when fishing for baits at Lake Päijänne and found the secret of the Rapala lures – their swimming motion. The first wobblers were manufactured using a knife, a file and sandpaper. Cheese packages and candy wrappers were used as the tin foil for the sides.

The back side was painted black and the belly side white. Shiny varnish was replaced with photo negatives which Lauri washed and melted on top of the wobblers. Once the hooks were attached, the first Rapala lures were finished.
