Finland is a true winter wonderland, and on this tour, you will experience the very best of it. The base for this active week is the Kylmäluoma hiking area, where you can immerse yourself in the absolute tranquility of nature and the snow-covered landscape, far from tourist crowds.
During the week you will try cross-country skiing and ice-fishing, build igloos and ride a husky sled. An overnight snowshoeing tour will take you deep into the wilderness, where you’ll stay in a remote hut. Spending the night in this simple yet cozy cabin, without electricity, will surely be an unforgettable experience.
With minimal artificial light in the area, you’ll have excellent opportunities to admire the northern sky. And if you’re lucky, you might even witness the breathtaking spectacle of the Northern Lights - a mesmerizing dance of colors across the night sky.
Tour highlights:
• Peaceful nature and pristine snow-covered landscape of east Finland
• Husky sledding, Nordic skiing, igloo building etc.
• Overnight snowshoeing expedition to the remote wilderness cabin
• Chance of a sauna at the end of each day
