Exciting winter activities from our superb wilderness camp
Basecamp Oulanka, our 'wilderness camp', is a lovely complex of wooden buildings providing comfortable and cosy accommodation in a stunning location overlooking a lake, and backing on to the Oulanka National Park. During the stay we include a varied programme of activities including dogsledding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. We also enjoy a full day of wilderness skills with the opportunity to stay in your own quinzee and learn the techniques of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing passing frozen waterfalls and the beautiful Kitkajoki River. A highlight of the trip is dogsledding through the silent snow-caked forests of the Riisitunturi National Park in Lapland. Free time can be spent using the cross-country skis or snowshoe equipment available at the lodge, or in the sauna and hot tub. The ski resort of Ruka is a 20-minute taxi ride away - for a night out, snowmobile safari or a day of downhill skiing.
