FINNISH WINTER ACTIVITIES

In the remote east of Finland, close to the border with Russia, and surrounded by frozen lakes and vast forests, is the lovely Hotel Kalevala. This is a highlight of the trip, as the hotel has excellent facilities including a wellbeing department. After your day's activities you can relax in a soothing sauna and dine beside spectacular views of the lake as you try some of the excellent local dishes. Here our programme includes a variety of winter activities, from cross-country skiing to snowmobiling through forests and across frozen lakes and a full day driving dogsleds with friendly and lively huskies. There is even the opportunity to try a spot of ice-fishing. We leave two days free for optional trips or further participation in whatever you have enjoyed the most. All the excursions (apart from dogsledding) begin directly from our hotel.
