Holiday in Lakeland Finland

Four seasons, four excellent reasons to explore the stunning Jyväskylä Region in Finnish Lakeland. Here, in the middle of Europe’s largest lake district, you’ll discover how Europe’s coolest city and cool design meet the world’s hottest sauna culture. Whether you’re a nature lover seeking the tranquility of national parks and calming lake scenery, or a city breaker eager to explore a vibrant city and the local way of living, the Jyväskylä Region is a perfect and sustainable destination for your next holiday in Finland.

Here, in the Sauna Region of the World, you’ll discover Finnish happiness at its purest: on bright summer nights, as you cool off on a lakeside pier after a relaxing sauna. On crisp winter days, when you plunge from the warmth of the sauna into an ice‑cold lake. All this, while enjoying the city’s rich cultural offerings, from world‑famous architecture by Alvar Aalto to unique museums and lively events. And perhaps you already knew it: when you’re on holiday in the Jyväskylä Region, you’re on holiday in the happiest country in the world!
