Experience the national scenery of Koli - one of the most beautiful attractions of Finland

The day begins with a coffee break by the campfire place, with a hint of tradition as the coffee is made in a pot. The group then continues to the Visitor Centre Ukko where they have the opportunity to enjoy a presentation of different seasons of Koli and exhibitions. At this point you also have the opportunity to purchase some Finnish handicraft, ceramics or art, among other items.

Snowshoeing in the scenery of Koli National Park- the final adventure of the day. After the group gets a short instruction on the technique of snowshoeing, they head for a journey full of culture, heritage and beautiful nature with the help of their guide.  In the case the weather so demands, snowshoeing will be replaced with Nordic walking.

You are adviced to dress according to the weather with comfortable shoes. Other sport specific equipments, like snowshoes, are included in the excursion.

The price of the excursion is 85 euros/person. Including transportation, guide, equipments and the coffee break snacks.
