"Skijumping in Summer ... and winter!" Lahti by sabsi
Lahti Travel Guide: 146 reviews and 384 photos
Hi!
I have been watching skijumping on television since I was a little kid. That's why I had to go to Lahti in summer 2000 to finally to see my first real ski jump. On the picture I just landed at 150 metres with a perfect Telemark ;-)
Without snow or jumpers though .... but with a beautifully located swimming pool and a really funny ski museum! We had planned to go swimming here but unfortunately the day we went here it was really cold so we were freezing.
Talking of freezing: I went back here in winter recently for the Salpausselän Kisät - the Lahti Ski Games. For the first time the weather was beautiful. Lots of snow, blue skies, many funny stories and great sports made this weekend trip an unforgettable experience. My first real winter wonderland days!
- Pros:Great ski museum and wonderful ski jumping hills! Great atmosphere during ski games.
- Cons:Unfortunately it was always too cold for a swim :( The city centre isn't exactly beautiful.
- In a nutshell:A must if you are into skijumping!

Hi Sabsi! Great page about my hometown. The café where you had pulla with coffee is called Kariniemen Kahvila. I have taken some foreign visitors there and they've loved it.
man kann die schanze hoch KLETTERN??? ohhhh! schöne bilder, für TLs leider keine ratings möglich ;-)
Now I know how Ildar Fatkhullin looks like :-))
Great new travelogues here, somehow look to me familiar a bit, and... Lahti is pronounced Lahti, or: ìàäèé ;-)
Hahaha hab grad die Bilder aus dem Museum geehen :) Wir sahen echt schnell aus auf Ski :) Päivää!
I hope you booked your ticket through Germanwings and not VBird! See ya in Laaaati ;-)
You were luckier with weather than us yesterday, I meant to take photos to build a VT page but no thanks with that heavy rain :/ Also the judge at the dog show didn't actually fall in love with our Viivi so in all the day was... *censored*
