Fishing vs Padel Challenge

Some want to go fishing. Others prefer to stay active. At Sahanlahti, you do not have to choose.

One group heads onto the waters of Lake Saimaa with a professional fishing guide in search of pike, perch and zander, while another group spends the day on the padel court. Guests can stay with their preferred activity or switch sides and experience both.

The day is connected by the Fishing vs Padel Challenge. Fishing teams collect points based on their catch, while padel teams compete in a friendly tournament. The winner is not revealed until the evening.

After an active day, everyone gathers around the same table. The sauna is warm, the hot tub is waiting and the day's catch is transformed into dinner. Fresh Lake Saimaa fish, good wine and stories from both the lake and the court complete the experience.

This is a day built around friendly competition, great food and spending time together.
