Husky Dog-sledding
Learn how to harness your dog team and handle the sled, then it's off through pristine wooded wilderness only hearing the crisp snow crackle and the odd bark from the dogs as you go.
Snowshoeing & Skiing
Snowshoeing is great fun and a fantastic way to get off the beaten track for a close look at the surroundings. You’ll also head onto Lake Pielinen to do some cross-country skiing and maybe explore the delightful Karelian village of Vuonislahti.
Snowmobiling & Beautiful Wilderness
You have the opportunity for a snowmobile ride. It’s a real thrill whizzing through the magical winter countryside and something you’ll remember for a long time! Your traditional log farmhouse accommodation is veiled by deep forest and tucked away in the beautiful Finnish countryside. Only reached by winding country tracks, it really is in the middle of nowhere - the perfect place for relaxation and adventure, Finnish style!
Fun in the Snow!
During your stay you’ll have plenty of time to build igloos and have snowball fights! You can also try ice fishing, or walk to the summit of Ukko Koli for Finland's most famous view over icy Lake Pielinen.
The Trip
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are aerobic activities - but anyone who is reasonably fit should be able to take part. Snowmobiling and dog-sledding are not physically strenuous, but this is a challenging trip as we travel through wilderness areas. Activities will be arranged to suit the ages and abilities of the group. Minimum age: 5 years
