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.

Riders hit speeds between 60 and 70 km/h while soaring over the lake at heights of up to 40 meters above the water.

It's the perfect opportunity to share an unforgettable rush of adrenaline while taking in stunning views of the Tahko resort landscape.
