Hiking

The region offers great possibilities for hiking, and there are hundreds of kilometres of marked hiking trails on offer. All levels of fitness and age can be catered for from easy treks to forest trails to challenging narrow paths on the hills. Most trails have planks in the more moist parts. Some trails are accessible by wheelchair.

The week long hiking treks in beautiful surroundings familiarize the visitors with the needs of hiking in the wilderness. There are different kinds of routes, in different kinds of terrain, in nature preservation areas for example, showing the nature and rich fauna of Finland at its best. During the trips you will mostly move by hiking, but one day it is canoeing! You only need to carry what you need during the day, all other luggage is transported to your accommodation.

You can combine traditional hiking with the love of dogs. In guided husky trekking your companion is a four legged friend, tied with a leash on a special belt around your waist. On a guided safari you can safely enjoy the magic of wilderness even if you are not used to dogs.
The lengths of the treks vary from a few hours to a week-long tour.

The sport of Nordic Walking started in Finland. It is an even more efficient form of exercise than hiking. The trekking and hiking trails can be explored on your own or with a guide. The guided treks start with instruction on the technique. The equipment can be rented at your accommodation.
