Finland Wilderness Snowshoe Adve

Finland Wilderness Snowshoe Adve Overview

Snowshoe across the frozen lakes and forested ridges of the Hossa National Park on this one week winter holiday in East Finland

With its serene boreal forest, frozen lakes, traditional saunas and cosy, snow-blanketed, cabins the Hossa National Park in Finland is the perfect place for an introductory snowshoe adventure. We begin with 3 nights at our comfortable cabin base, spending a few days getting used to walking with snowshoes, exploring the ice-covered lakes and searching out mysterious prehistoric rock paintings. Having mastered our snowshoeing technique we next head out on a 3 day journey travelling off trail, through an abundance of soft, powdery snow, between remote, candlelit, wilderness cabins. This is a chance to immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the nature in this remote and pristine part of Finland, and to unwind and leave behind the stresses of modern life. Each evening there will be a chance to warm up in a traditional Finnish sauna and, for the brave, there’s also the prospect of cooling down the traditional way post sauna - with a bit of ice swimming! With snowshoes and poles included and weekly, guaranteed, departures from January to March this fantastic holiday is a great introduction to snowshoeing and the ideal winter getaway.
