Tahko’s wondrous hiking trails and natural attractions
Tahko’s rugged, mountainous landscapes and picturesque lakes enchant visitors throughout the year.
The picture-perfect landscape changes colour every season, and there is a natural wonder to wow every member of the family. At Tahko, you can adventure independently or join an organised tour.
There are several hiking routes to choose from, which you can combine to create the perfect day, no matter what you desire.

- Winter hiking trails
- Visit the observation tower or the longest outdoor stairs in Finland.
- A chairlift to the top of the mountain during the summer and autumn seasons
Winter hiking trails
Tahko, with many winter activities, is also ideal for winter hiking. Many routes familiar from the snow-free season are used in winter by skiers, downhill skiers, and snowmobilers, but the most popular rest spots—such as the Mäkiautio lean-to and the Nipanens’ hut, as well as Pehku and Panorama—can also be reached by hiking in winter.

Camping has environmental impacts that anyone can easily reduce by taking their waste out of the wild to the appropriate collection points back in town. Thank you for caring – every little deed is important to keep nature and scenery just as stunning for those who follow.
