Group guided tours around ​​Salpausselkä Geopark can be carried out as destination guided tours or sightseeing tours.

With the guided tours, you will get to know the creation of Salpausselkä ridges and the surrounded landscape created by water. The First and Second Salpausselkä are unique ice-marginal formations laid down by the last Ice Age. They reach across the entirety of southern Finland and are at their most spectacular in the area of Salpausselkä Geopark.

A few examples of destinations and guided tours to the area:

Linnaistensuo: Linnaistensuo nature reserve is located only 7 kilometers from the center of Lahti. The area is 200 ha in size and we will get to know the swamp by walking along the tree trail. The forests bordering the swamp area and the curd moss swamp with its scotch pines make you forget the urban environment.

Tiirismaa's Pirunpesä: Pirunpesä has been a well-known attraction since the end of the 19th century. The area is currently protected, and it also belongs to the Natura 2000 network. There are wonderful mossy rocks and an old spruce forest along the route. It is easy to combine a tour of the Soisalmi swamp nature reserve with the Pirunpesä excursion.

Pulkkilanharju and Päijänne National Park: The landscape route of Pulkkilanharju has been chosen as the most beautiful route in Finland. The twinkling Päijänne on both sides of the ridge and the wonderful old pines of the ridge must be experienced. The guided tour takes the group to get to know the Pulkkila ridge. It is easy to combine a visit to the Vääksy canal and Aurinkovuori with the trip.

Lahti Sports Center: Located in the center of Lahti, Lahti Sports Center is a versatile nature destination. On this guided tour, you will find out how Salpausselkä ridges were born and why the cross-country world championships have been held in Lahti seven times already. Häränsilmä pond and the ancient beach rocks can also be found here. The trip can be combined with a visit to the Lahti Ski Museum, Radiomäki or Lahti harbor.

The price of guided group tours starts at €395. Catering can be combined with all guided tours.
