Why Puijo Tower matters

Puijo Tower stands on a forested hill above the city and is the best place to see how Kuopio sits in a landscape of lakes. A lift takes you up, and a revolving restaurant and viewing deck look over water and woodland stretching far into the distance. In winter the hill is also a ski-jumping and cross-country skiing venue.

Talking points

  • The hill offers views over many lakes.
  • A revolving restaurant is at the top.
  • The area is a winter sports centre.
