Oulanka Winter Week

Oulanka Winter Week: seven nights close to nature, five guided activities and a day for your own winter adventure.

Give yourself a whole week of winter. Stay at Basecamp Oulanka and discover the snowy landscape on snowshoes, on skis and through hands-on wilderness skills. Your week includes a guided Pieni Karhunkierros hike, an evening forest tour and time to explore independently. Meals prepared for you and a comfortable twin room await after each day’s adventures.

What is included?

The package includes seven nights in a twin room for two and breakfast from Monday through to your departure on Sunday. Lunch and dinner are also included from Monday to Saturday, giving you six full-board days.

All five guided activities listed below are included, along with snowshoe and/or ski rental for independent exploration on Saturday. The campfire lunch served during Thursday’s hike is your full-board lunch for that day. Hot drinks are served during Friday’s evening tour.

Five different ways to experience winter

Begin your week with a snowshoeing tour to Myllykoski. On Tuesday, practise fire lighting and build a quinzee snow shelter with your guide. Wednesday’s beginner-friendly skiing lesson introduces you to the basics of cross-country skiing in the snowy scenery of Lake Juumajärvi.

On Thursday, spend a longer day on the Pieni Karhunkierros trail and pause for lunch around a campfire. On Friday evening, discover the forest by headlamp. Clear skies may reveal the stars, and with a little luck, we might also see the Northern Lights.

Saturday at your own pace

Put your new skills into practice with a day of independent exploration. Snowshoe and/or ski rental on Saturday is included in your package. Choose how you want to explore and enjoy the winter landscape at your own pace, with meals waiting for you at Basecamp.

This week suits guests who enjoy being active outdoors. Please note that Thursday’s Pieni Karhunkierros hike covers 12 kilometres and lasts approximately five hours on winter terrain.

Seven nights, new skills and winter adventures – settle into the rhythm of Oulanka for a whole week.
