Winter Season Opening

13–16 November 2026

The winter season in Tahko officially kicks off on 13 November 2026, promising to be a special one thanks to major upgrades to the ski resort’s infrastructure and an exciting programme of opening celebrations. To mark the start of the season, the resort will come alive with music and a festive atmosphere. Visitors can look forward to performances by the Finnish band Komiat and other artists, live concerts, après-ski entertainment and activities for the whole family.

The main highlight of the new season is the modern six-seater Tahko Mountain Express chairlift, located on the resort’s front slopes. This is more than just a renovation of the old lift: the previous equipment has been dismantled and replaced with a brand-new, modern lift system.

Another important improvement is the snow preservation system, which will allow the resort to open earlier than usual. The stored snow will help prepare the first ski runs by mid-November, giving skiers and snowboarders the opportunity to enjoy the slopes well before winter fully sets in.

Ski Week

Usually held on weeks 8-9

During this period, schoolchildren have a week of vacation, making it an excellent opportunity for families to come together and enjoy the resort. Access to all activities is available: slopes, lifts, restaurants, cafes, and SPA centers.

Numerous events are organized for both adults and children, including parties, discos, and outdoor activities at every corner. Find out more information here.
