Rahasmäki tour 20,1km

The Rahasmäki circuit practically circles the entire Tahkomäki. The route has about 370 meters of elevation gain and the terrain varies between gentle dirt roads and rocky trails. Despite the challenge, the route is rewarding in terms of both scenery and resting places, the most popular of which is probably the campfire site on the shore of the clear-water quarry pond of the old Rahasmäki mine. As a second stop, we recommend Nipanen hut, where you can eat and warm up comfortably even in cold weather.

The route follows the Tahkomäki circuit in its beginning and end, but this route does not ascend to the top of Tahko Mountain.

Route: Tahko – Lower station of the landscape lift – Hiekkoniemi lean-to – Tahkomäentie – Rahasmäki lean-to – Pehkuntie (crossing) – Nipanen hut – Rest hut – base of the ski slope – Tahko.
