About Lapinlahti
Lapinlahti is a municipality of about 8,800 people covering roughly 1,250 square kilometres, with 229 lakes, Lake Onkivesi among the largest. The homes are spread across a wide area rather than gathered in one spot, so lake frontage, distance to the village and distance to Kuopio vary from one to the next. Nearly all have a sauna, most have a fireplace and many sleep six or more, so groups and extended families are well served. Wi-Fi is common. The village has a railway station, which helps if you are not driving the whole way. Expect a lake setting with quiet evenings and plenty of space.
Is Lapinlahti right for you?
- Best for
- Group stays by a lake with sauna, away from crowds
- Not for you if
