Lötjölä: Sports Spa, Restaurant and Cross-Country Skiing

When looking for a hotel in Lötjölä, Tanhuvaara’s specific offerings help you match the destination to your interests: swimming and other water activities, dining, and facilities for cross-country ski training. The trails are considered on a broader regional scale, as the distance figures refer to the wider Savonlinna area.

Water activities at Tanhuvaara Sports Spa

Tanhuvaara Sports Spa is open year-round. Its main pool covers 200 square metres and has four 25-metre lanes; it is designed for swimming and a variety of water-based exercise. The spa also includes a hot tub and a cold-water pool. There is also a combined paddling-pool slide for small children, as well as another water slide. The paddling-pool slide combines the two features for small children; there is also a separate water slide. When planning your trip, you can distinguish between swimming and water-based exercise in the main pool and the additional pool and slide facilities.

Dining and local ingredients

Tanhuvaara offers dining services for guests, course participants, campers and passers-by. Restaurant Espilä has 150 seats and a view of Lake Suurjärvi. The seating capacity describes the restaurant’s size, while the lake view adds a scenic aspect; this lets you consider the restaurant’s capacity and setting separately. The buffet includes vendace caught seasonally in the clean waters of Lake Finland. The dining service also favours local bread, root vegetables and potatoes, among other ingredients. The fish is therefore a seasonal feature of the buffet, while the staple ingredients reflect the service’s broader preferences.

Training facilities at Tanhuvaara

For cross-country ski training, Tanhuvaara lists a range of facilities: fitness centres, a multi-purpose hall, an indoor sports hall and Tanhuvaara Sports Spa. The list brings together fitness facilities, two types of halls and the spa. This is a separate consideration when choosing a destination, in addition to the water activities. It is important to distinguish these facilities from the regional trail network: the facilities are at Tanhuvaara, while the distance figures refer to the wider region around Savonlinna.

Cross-country skiing in the wider Savonlinna area

The wider Savonlinna area has more than 180 kilometres of cross-country ski trails in total; about 70 kilometres of these are lit. The approximately 70 kilometres are part of the total distance, not an additional figure. Together, the two figures help put the network into perspective: the first describes the size of the regional trail network, and the second its lit section. This gives you a regional overview of cross-country skiing alongside Tanhuvaara’s training facilities.

Getting your bearings at Tanhuvaara Camping

Tanhuvaara Camping is in a quiet location near a lake and a five-minute walk from the facilities of Tanhuvaara Tourist Center. The lakeside location describes the surroundings, while the walking time gives a specific indication of the distance to the centre’s facilities. Together, these details complement the information about sports and dining with a sense of the location.
