Salpausselkä ski jump is an iconic landmark in Lahti, part of the larger Salpausselkä ridge that shapes the region's geography. This historic hill has been a venue for World Cup ski jumping and Nordic combined events since the early 20th century. Visitors can ascend the jump's tower for breathtaking views of Lahti, Lake Vesijärvi, and the surrounding forests. During winter, the hill comes alive with competitions, while summer offers a chance to see the jump's massive structure up close and learn about its storied past in winter sports.
