A real Finnish winter
Everyone knows Lapland, but Finland’s magical winter isn’t found only in the north. Tahko is one of the snowiest regions in central Finland – a place where frosty trees, quiet forests and deep, soft snow create the real winter atmosphere you’re looking for, from December well into spring.

Fly from Helsinki to Kuopio Airport (55 min), or take the train from Helsinki to Siilinjärvi (approx. 4 h). From either Kuopio or Siilinjärvi, it’s a short and simple transfer to Tahko by taxi, private transfer or rental car — no complicated connections, just a smooth final stretch to your winter escape.
Made for cosy moments together
Spend your days exploring snowy landscapes, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or trying any of Tahko’s many winter activities. In the evenings, relax in warm spas, enjoy local food and unwind in beautiful surroundings. Tahko is where the good vibes sneak up on you before you even notice.
