Tahko Zipline

The longest zipline in Finland, spanning across the lake from the top of Tahko ski resort area

Tahko has unveiled Finland’s longest zipline, with the zip track extending from the top of Tahko’s ski resort area over Lake Syväri to Piazza corner.

This thrilling new activity is open year-round and operated by SeikkailuKuopio Ltd.

The zipline’s starting platform, also known as the launch deck, is located south of Pehkubar next to Joke Street, while the landing platform is situated near Tahko bridge at Piazza’s corner. The height difference between the starting and landing platforms is approximately 140 meters, and the descent takes place at a height of up to 40 meters above the water. At the steepest part of the slope, the maximum speed reaches around 60-70 km/h.

There are no structures between the upper and lower platforms, only two parallel cables, each one kilometer long. This also allows two people to descend almost simultaneously.

Please note that weather conditions, such as strong winds, thunderstorms, heavy rain, or extreme cold, may affect the opening hours. For any potential exceptions, please refer to Tahko Zipline’s Facebook page. During opening hours, individuals can ride alone, in pairs, or with larger groups. The staff is also flexible in hosting groups outside of regular opening hours. Initially, equipment is available for groups of approximately 100 people at a time. Around 25 people can descend per hour.

Tahko Zipline was supplied by a German-Swiss company that has constructed numerous similar ziplines across Europe.
