Gravelking Gravel Tour Lahti - 14-20 June 2027
Bring your love for gravel. We’ll take care of the rest.
A great gravel holiday is about more than the kilometres. It’s the peaceful roads, the lunch stop with a view, a refreshing dip in the lake and the chance to unwind in the sauna after a day outdoors.
Our Lahti Gravel Tour brings all of that together in one carefully organised experience. Enjoy four guided riding days through Finnish forests and lakeland country, with a choice of approximately 70 km or 100 km each day. Both routes are guided, so you can choose the distance that suits you and enjoy the ride without worrying about navigation.
With six nights’ accommodation, meals included on the riding days, daily sauna and swimming opportunities, plus support from Nordic Gravel Series staff and a mechanic, the important details are taken care of. All that’s left is to settle in, meet your fellow riders and enjoy the Finnish Lakeland from the saddle.

Ride schedule
Day 1 Lahti-Lehmonkärki
Day one rolls out from Lahti towards Lehmonkärki via the gravel roads of Hollola and the wild beauty of Evo National Park. A scenic lakeside lunch stop in the middle of the route is the perfect reset before the final stretch. In Lehmonkärki, the day finishes the best way possible: sauna, a refreshing swim, and a BBQ-style dinner by the lake.
Day 2 Lehmonkärki-Lehmonkärki
A full day of pure gravel exploration takes you through Pulkkilanharju, Kalkkinen, Vesivehmaa, and Vääksy, with a well-timed lunch stop midway. No packing or transfers needed today - after the ride you’ll return to picturesque Lehmonkärki, where a warm welcome and dinner at the main building awaits.
Day 3 Lehmonkärki-Pajulahti
Today’s route heads towards Pajulahti through Kalkkinen, Heinola, and Vierumäki, combining smooth gravel stretches with classic Finnish lake landscapes. Another beautiful lunch stop along the way keeps the energy high for the final kilometers. After arrival, unwind with sauna and a swim in Iso-Kukkanen lake, enjoy the activities on site, and finish the evening with a relaxed pizza night.
Day 4 Pajulahti-Lahti
The final ride leads back to Lahti via the Kuivanto-Heinämaa route - a perfect closing chapter filled with flowing gravel and forest roads. The week wraps up in style at Teivaan Hehku sauna by the lake, a memorable finish to an unforgettable camp experience
