Kuusijärvi

Smoke sauna, swimming, sandy beach, biking, and lots more - all year around!

Welcome to Kuusijärvi

Kuusijärvi is a famous all-season outdoor recreational center. By summertime, a large sandy beach and by wintertime the beautiful cross-country skiing landscape with the refreshing ice swimming possibilities, are the foundations for Kuusijärvi’s popularity.

Kuusijärvi has the only public smoke saunas in the city of Vantaa and is a must-do for all visitors in Finland.

Kuusijärvi is Vantaa's most popular beach in the summer.

The ice swimming season is from September to May. Welcome!

Bridge to Sipoonkorpi National Park

Sipoonkorpi National Park is easy to reach via a bridge over the old Porvoo road (Vanha Porvoontie) called Sudentassu, “a wolf’s paw”. The bold steel bridge itself is worth seeing - it is built between two steep rocky slopes and it is 20 meters (65ft) high and 126 meters (413ft) long!

The trail to Sipoonkorpi bridge starts by the large smoke sauna and is marked with orange signs. The bridge is open for both hikers and cross-country skiers.

More information and Sipoonkorpi trail maps can be found on Sipoonkorpi National Park Homepage.

Ice swimming - A source of wellbeing

"Isn’t it a very Finnish way to get to know a new person, on hot sauna’s wooden benches just before dipping into ice cold water of Kuusijärvi lake?"
