Enjoy peace and quiet close to the city buzz
Lehmo’s peaceful surroundings offer a welcome break from everyday life—yet services and Joensuu city centre are still easy to reach. Here you can enjoy nature close by, quiet moments and your own space, and pop into cafés, shopping or events whenever you feel like it.
The beautiful ridge landscapes of Lehmonharju invite you to explore the pine forests around our hotel along well-maintained cycling routes, hiking trails and new outdoor fitness stairs. In summer, you’ll find a beach within walking distance, and in winter many ski tracks lead you into a true winter wonderland.
The area offers outdoor activities in the calm of nature, an unhurried pace and unforgettable experiences. Grill sausages at our barbecue hut or go and see Finland’s tallest pine tree! For more experienced nature lovers, the terrain also provides enjoyable challenges and new discoveries. After a day outdoors, unwind in our hotel’s salt room and infrared sauna.
Hotel Julie is the perfect choice if you’re looking for relaxing holiday activities and an escape from the city noise.
The best nature trails and hilltop landscapes—enjoy gravel cycling or hiking adventures
Here, enjoying nature is easy: the varied terrain around us offers something for both peaceful walks and more energetic workouts. For gravel cyclists, the local network of unpaved roads provides endless route options, while hikers can find trails where the mind calms and everyday life fades away. And when you want “more scenery,” North Karelia’s famous hilltop views and day-trip destinations are close enough for an easy outing—so you can be back at the hotel the very same evening.
Snowy ski tracks just a (snowball) throw away.
Kontiolahti is known for cross-country skiing and biathlon—and for good reason. The area has decades of experience hosting international competitions, and the surroundings of the Kontiolahti Biathlon Stadium are a true winter base for anyone who loves to move.
From here, enjoying North Karelia in winter is easy: head out for the day onto well-groomed ski tracks and then return to the calm comfort of the hotel.
You can access the Lehmonharju tracks right next to the hotel—just grab your skis and step straight onto the trail.
Gentle care and wellbeing for your body
What could be nicer than ending a day outdoors—or a business trip—by unwinding in the warmth? When your legs still remember the day’s adventure, it’s time to slow down and let your body recover.
Relax in gentle sauna steam and let the heat do its work—soften, calm and restore. Or step into the salt room for a quiet moment to breathe and recharge: a peaceful pause that perfectly rounds off a day in nature.
Evening sauna during public hours is included in the room rate.
The salt room, infrared sauna and the larger sauna area can be booked separately.
