Kuopio

Lakeland heart — Puijo tower and the world's largest smoke sauna.

— Journey —

Jet 50 min

Kuopio, in the heart of the eastern lake district, sits on a peninsula in Lake Kallavesi beneath the wooded Puijo hill and its slender observation tower. Reached by FFGR Jets in fifty minutes, the city is the cultural capital of Savonia — its harbour, its lake steamers, and the Jätkänkämppä smoke sauna at Rauhalahti, among the largest in the world. FFGR Finland coordinates lake cruises aboard restored steamers, visits to the Orthodox Church Museum of Finland (the foremost collection of Karelian icons in the West), and the Puijo fine-dining tower with its revolving panorama over a thousand islands. The Kuopio Wine Festival and the dance festival fill the summer; the surrounding waters freeze into a vast skating and ski landscape in winter.
