The wilderness offers amazing experiences regardless of the season. Hiking trips in an untouched Finnish forests or swamps can be an unforgettable experience. We organize a day out in the Finnish nature with a wide variety of activities; although just the hiking itself can be an experience as such. We, however, recommend adding “clean food from a clean nature”-experience which means local delicasies from the surrounding nature.
In the winter the hiking can be swapped to cross-country skiing. The physical demands of the day are always tailored to Your needs.
Possibility of spending a night in a tent, even in the winter when it is truly an unforgettable experience. All equipment will be supplied.
The physical activity- part of the day takes around four hours. There are amazing sceneries within a 1-2 hour drive from Helsinki or Turku; something You cannot see from the high buildings in the city.
