Together in Oulanka’s winter wilderness

Basecamp Winter Village

The warmth of a campfire, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the stillness of a snowy forest.

Basecamp Winter Village invites you to spend time together and enjoy Oulanka’s winter at an unhurried pace.

With traditional Finnish kota huts and campfire spots at its heart, your visit can be a relaxed coffee break, a shared meal or a whole day outdoors. A private kota hut gives your group a place to gather, while a sauna rounds off a day spent in nature.

Winter nature for all the senses

A shorter outing to Myllykoski gives you time to listen to the rushing rapids, take in the winter scenery and pause over a warm drink. Let nature and good company set the pace.

For those wishing to venture further, the Pieni Karhunkierros trail offers an unhurried day of walking, with plenty of stops to enjoy the views and notice nature’s smaller details. Completing the full circuit depends on the group’s fitness and the winter conditions.

By the campfire and in the warmth of the sauna

Coffee brewed over an open fire, campfire treats and shared group meals bring warmth to a winter’s day. Around the fire, there is time for conversation, quiet moments and simply being together.

After your outing, unwind in the sauna and leave time to rest. For a retreat-style visit, your group can also arrange its own yoga, stretching or breathing session in the sauna lounge by prior agreement.

A visit shaped around your group

Basecamp Winter Village is ideal for shared moments with family and friends, group visits, company away days and retreat-style gatherings. It also makes a memorable stop during a relaxed winter holiday.

Basecamp Oulanka and the surrounding wilderness provide a setting for both our guided activities and your group’s own programme. Combine a snowshoe outing, a meal in a kota hut and a sauna, or leave space for your own workshop and relaxed time together.

We plan each visit around your group’s wishes and the time available. Transfers from Ruka can also be arranged as part of your visit.
