Tahkovuori, also know as Tahko is a resort located in the middle of Finland, in the city of Kuopio. It is about 70 kilometers north of the city centre and is open all year round.

Tahko is a small tourist town with many restaurants and outdoor activities, including winter sports facilities. Th nearby areas of Nilsiä and Northeast Savonia have hundreds of kilometers of marked snowmobile routes.

In addition to winter sports, there are also numerous marked paths for hiking and mountain biking. Nilsiä has a well-equipped marina and both Lake Syväri and Lake Vuotjärvi are renowned for their fish stocks. One may also fish in the Lastukoski rapids.

Tahko also offers many sports services including clubs for people of different ages, a modern sports field, two full-length golf courses, a sports hall, tennis courts, and other sports facilities.

An abandoned strip mining area nearby is now transformed into a venue for opera performances.

The proposed plan to artificially increase the height of the Tahkovuori hill has raised much debate in Finland. ^{[citation needed]}
