Sahanlahti resort: one of the oldiest sawmills in the Saimaa region, was established in 1765 around a water-powered sawmill which no longer exists. Sawmill operations were carried out in the Sahanlahti area almost 200 years. Today, the family owned Sahanlahti Resort is a renowned and traditional tourist center in a magnificent location on the shores of Lake Saimaa. The unique and culturally historic sawmill environment and modern facilities create a wonderfull setting for our lunch and visit.

Additional Program
Optional gravel route for a limited number of participants. Extra fee of 50 € / bike.
Two groups of 10 bikes per group can be organized.
Participants on the gravel routes must have experience driving on gravel roads. The roads are “drivable by car”, although special care is required in some places on the “two-track” sections. No deep sand or mud is expected, so knobby tires are not necessary. Driving with a passenger is not recommended.
The planned lengths of the routes are between approximately 250 and 300 km though depending on the conditions of the roads at the time of the event and progress of the trip, this can be changed to ensure that you return to the hotel on time. Lunch locations and schedules are shared with the asphalt riding groups.
