INWA NORDIC WALKING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN LAHTI – FINLAND FROM 13th- 15th

The president of the International Nordic Walking Federation, Aki Karihtala,

Walking World Championships held in Lahti!

The International Nordic Walking Federation INWA and Finski (Finlandia-hiihto)

competition centres in the world.

A good number of participants from abroad as well as from Finland are expected
to participate in this unique event. Several skiing world championships and
World Cup competitions have been organised in Lahti.

Finlandia-hiihto event director Markku Levanen expresses his delight that Nordic
Walking has become part of the spectrum of international events organised in
Lahti as a competitive activity. “The INWA Nordic Walking World Championships
provide an accessible opportunity to participate in an internationally
prestigious competition, allowing individuals to challenge Nordic Walkers from

Here some facts about Lahti . . . .

The Internationally known Lahti Sports Centre is the heart of the ski games. At
the sports centre are located the ski jump towers, restaurant Voitto, ice hockey
arena, ski museum, outdoor swimming pool and much more. During the wintertime
there are ski trails on the area and during the summertime outdoor hiking
trails.
In addition to being a world-renowned arena for winter events, the Lahti Sports
Centre is one of the town’s most fascinating tourist attractions.
In summer, you can enjoy the wonderful view from the observation deck at the top
of the Lahti Ski Jump tower. Take the chairlift from the out-run area up to the
jump towers or, if a ride on the chairlift is not your cup of tea, you can also
reach the jump towers by car from Hämeenlinnantie road. The ski jump tower
observation deck is open for public daily during the summertime and in winter it
is open by request. In summer, the out-run of the ski jumping hill serves as a
pleasant outdoor swimming pool with separate pools for adults and children. And
when hunger hits, you’ll find a nice café and a restaurant with a view over the
whole Sports Centre in the museum building.

The hiking trails in Salpausselkä, some of which go all the way to Messilä Ski
Centre, also start from the Sports Centre. And what’s more, the services of the
Sports Centre are only 10 minutes away on foot from the centre of Lahti.

What makes the Sports Centre area so well suitable for sports is its geology:
the unique, diverse landscape of ridges, kettle holes, steep slopes and raised
beaches. The Sports Centre is one of the most significant geosites within the
Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark.

The Sports Centre lies on the First Salpausselkä Ridge, which was formed along
the margin of the continental ice sheet during the melting phase of the last Ice
Age some 12 000 years ago, when a period of rapid climate cooling stopped the
ice sheet from retreating further. The meltwaters, running in tunnels and cracks
within the glacier, transported and sorted gravel and sand, which were deposited
as adjacent deltas at the mouths of glacial rivers in the Baltic Ice Lake.

The kettle hole landscape that gives the area its distinctive look, was formed
through the melting of enormous ice blocks that had split off from the
continental ice sheet. These ice blocks were buried in the sand and gravel
deposited by the glacial meltwaters. As the ice melted, the land around the
blocks collapsed forming the pitted kettle landscape. The out-run of the ski
jumping hill is also built in a kettle hole.

You can also arrive at the Sports Centre by public transport. For example the
buses 4H, 4V, and 6 can take you less than half a kilometer away from the Sports
Centre.
