Adventures in Finland

Take to a set of cross-country skis and explore a stunning snowy wilderness. Feel the adrenaline of racing through the snow on a dog sled, pulled by your own set of husky dogs and try your hand at snowshoeing – all the ingredients for a brilliant winter activity holiday! Karelia, Finland’s easternmost province is a perfect location for an array of winter sports, great for anyone looking for an action packed outdoor activity holiday off the beaten track.

Lying as it does along the border with Russia, the region is deep in snow throughout the winter, at its best when the days get longer and the temperature starts to rise. In these colder months, Finland holidays offer a beautiful landscape of frozen lakes, endless forests and snow-covered hills – just waiting to be explored.

Hike to the summit of Ukko Koli for fantastic views across the Finnish Lake District – the sight of Lake Pielinen and the surrounding trees covered by a thick blanket of snow is possibly one of the most photographed views when on holidays in Finland and certainly makes the trip worthwhile! Then unwind back at a comfortable local guesthouse with a traditional Finnish sauna.
