Winter day trip from Helsinki to Liesjärvi National Park with wilderness guide, forest walk, transport, and Kota lunch

Winter Wonderland Hike in a National Park

Escape Helsinki for a peaceful winter day in Liesjärvi National Park. Travel through snow-covered forest with a professional wilderness guide, look for wildlife tracks, and enjoy a traditional Finnish lunch beside a warm fire in a cozy Winter Kota hut.

Walk through a Winter Wonderland on this tranquil day in a Finnish National Park. This full-day excursion includes lunch around a warm fire, transportation from Helsinki, and a professional wilderness guide.

Highlights:

• Experience genuine silence only found in a winter forest

• Very few visitors during the winter season

• Traditional Finnish-style lunch inside Winter Kota (traditional Finnish hut)

• Feel the calming effect of the forest in the winter

Winter allows us to witness the forest in its mystic grandeur. Snow gently falls and blankets the entire forest, embracing the trees and creating a peaceful silence throughout the woods. It would seem as though the forest is asleep during these frigid months, but with care, you are able to see tracks of the animals such as the red fox, mountain hare, and moose.

This day trip from Helsinki brings you to one of Finland’s oldest national parks, Liesjärvi. Considered the hidden gem of Southern Finland, Liesjärvi remains free from the overly populated crowds of visitors, letting us explore the park in peace.

Committed to sustainability, this tour proudly carries the Sustainable Travel Finland and Green Activities certificates. We treat everyone in an equal manner and welcome you to join us for an adventure that contributes positively to the environment.
