About

Walk through a Winter Wonderland on this tranquil day in a Finnish National Park. This full-day excursion includes lunch by a campfire, roundtrip transportation from Helsinki, and a professional wilderness guide. (Dietary needs? Let us know when booking.) Highlights: • Experience genuine silence only found in a winter forest • Very few visitors during the winter season • Traditional Finnish-style lunch inside of a wilderness 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.
