Lakeland Sweetspot

Finnishness on Display

It's no surprise that amidst the natural splendor of thousands of lakes and endless forests, golf thrives in its purest form. A prime example is Viipurin Golf, a gem located alongside Lake Saimaa, with a setting as stunning as the game itself. Or beautiful Tahko Golf, which embodies the essence of this region.

Much like the simple cottage life, here, there's no need for everyday grinding or keeping score; instead, you can indulge in uninterrupted enjoyment, engaging all your senses.

The deep-rooted connection to nature makes Lakeland a fertile ground for an array of unique and quirky Finnish events and music festivals, spanning from dramatic arias to electrifying rock festivals.
