Rantasalmi

Rantasalmi is famous for its amazing scenery and magnificent ice skating routes in the waters of Linnansaari National Park and Lake Rauanvesi.

In the summer, Lake Haukivesi, part of the renowned Saimaa Lake System, lures the boat folks and wanderers to enjoy the beautiful nature of the region. The Linnansaari National Park is accessible by boat, and the independent adventurers can rent row boats and canoes. Visitors can also experience the charming nature of Saimaa ringed seals on board of a seal cruise.

Rantasalmi is known for Pekka Lipponen, a fictional figure, who has made his name in shows such as Lipposmarkkinat –fair, which is arranged on the fi rst Saturday of each August, as well as participating in a high school music theatre and a brass orchestra. The Nature Center Oskari, located in the center of Rantasalmi, guides visitors to the nature experiences of the Linnansaari National Park. In addition to well-functioning municipal services, Rantasalmi provides versatile, year-round tourism services as well as plenty of sports opportunities. Feel free to visit our 9-hole golf course and our vast, high-quality ski track network. The ice hockey arena and ice skating routes provide excellent ice sports opportunities.
