Laajavuori

Laajavuori is an urban outdoor activity center that offers various sports activities as well as stunning views. On the top of Laajavuori you can admire the city and the nearby forests and ponds from a height of 227 meters. On top of the Laajavuori, there is a ski jumping stadium with five ski jump hills. One of the hills is named after the successful Jyväskylä-based hill jumping legend Matti Nykänen. The Nykänen ski jump hill is one of the best known landmarks in Jyväskylä.

You can reach the top of the hill by ski lift, on foot along a nature trail, or by biking. Laajavuori offers diverse routes for downhill biking, enduro, and cross-country cycling. In winter, you can also bike on a wide winter cycling route, or instead of a bike, you can come down the hill skiing or snowboarding. Among the 13 slopes, there are suitable options for skiers of different levels. If you prefer a flatter option instead of downhill skiing, the Laajavuori outdoor area’s trail network covers nearly 50 km of maintained tracks. On the year-round skiing route, you can move in the summer with roller skis and rollerblades.

In addition to the above, the outdoor area offers even more options, such as fitness tracks, an adventure park, disc golf, and a nearby spa where you can relax after a day of activities. No matter what time of year you visit in Laajavuori outdoor area, there are plenty of options available!
