Winter Wonderland Hike in a National Park
Overview
Highlights:
• Experience genuine silence only found in a winter forest
• Very few visitors during the winter season
• Traditional Finnish-style lunch inside Winter Kota (traditional Finnish hut)
• Feel the calming effect of the forest in the winter
Winter allows us to witness the forest in its mystic grandeur. Snow gently falls and blankets the entire forest, embracing the trees and creating a peaceful silence throughout the woods. It would seem as though the forest is asleep during these frigid months, but with care, you are able to see tracks of the animals such as the red fox, mountain hare, and moose.
This off-the-beaten-path destination remains free from the overly populated crowds of visitors, letting us explore the park in peace.
Inclusions
- Lunch - Finnish-style lunch over a campfire
- Coffee and/or Tea

After one hour of walking, we will arrive at a beautiful wilderness hut which will be heated by our campfire.

Auch wenn wir leider auf den erhofften Schnee verzichten mussten, hatten wir einen wirklich tollen Tag in einer traumhaften Umgebung. Kiia und Jeff haben uns super durch die Wälder geführt, alles wunderbar erklärt und sehr lecker für uns gekocht. Man merkt den beiden deutlich an wie sehr sie die Natur lieben und ihr Wissen darüber gerne weitergeben. Wer also mal eine Auszeit vom lauten Stadttrubel in Helsinki möchte ist bei diesen beiden gut aufgehoben.Highly recommended. Professional and friendly company. Overall the hiking experience was super fun and enjoyable.
