Tahko Skibus
Operating season 5 Dec 2025–12 Apr 2026
Tahko Skibus schedules
With the Tahko Skibus, you can get around the area without your own car—whether you’re arriving in the area, heading from the slopes to your cottage, topping up your groceries, or going out and about for other activities.
- Tahko Skibus price is 5€/day and is paid to the driver when boarding (cash or card).
- For holders of a Tahko Mountain ski pass, the bus is free of charge. Be prepared to show your season pass or any valid ski lift ticket – or, for example, the purchase receipt from the skipass online shop.
- The Skibus operates the route Tahko–Nilsiä–Tahko, and you can also access further regional connections from Nilsiä. If the transfer time looks tight, you can let the driver know; they can request the next bus to wait for your arrival.
- From week 50/2025 onward, Skibus stops and stop-specific timetables can also be found in the Kuopio Region public transport route planner, where you can easily locate the bus stop closest to you.
- See also the direct Kuopio-Tahko bus line 61
