Tahko Zipline. What is it?

Right next to the Tahko Hills cottage complex , you'll find an adrenaline-pumping attraction called Tahko Zipline — where you can experience the thrill of high-speed descent on a suspended steel cable. "Tahko Zipline" is Finland's biggest extreme zipline adventure, which opened in late 2023 at the Tahko ski resort. The concept is simple but exhilarating: you're harnessed in and sent flying along a metal cable that stretches from the top of the ski slope all the way across the bay.adrenaline while taking in stunning views of the Tahko resort landscape.

The zipline course runs an incredible 2 kilometers with a drop of about 140 meters, making it the longest in the country. Riders hit speeds between 60 and 70 km/h while soaring over the lake at heights of up to 40 meters above the water. What makes this attraction really special is its dual-cable design — two parallel lines that let two people ride side by side. It's the perfect opportunity to share an unforgettable rush of adrenaline while taking in stunning views of the Tahko resort landscape.
