ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS IN FINLAND

Finland is, for the most part, a vast expanse of forests and lakes, punctuated by towns full of people who are genuinely surprised to see tourists. In the northern provinces the winter months are genuinely breathtaking, where snowflakes so tiny they seem to float, like diamond dust in the light, mix with the eerie kaamos light.

There can be no more delightful way of exploring this beautiful winter landscape than on cross-country skis. To glide through the silent forests or across the treeless slopes of the Arctic hills, with the winter landscapes glittering in their white blanket of snow, is an unforgettable experience. Cross-country skiing is one of Finland's most popular sports, and there are plenty of excellent trails from which to choose. Illuminated trails allow you to extend your skiing pleasure long into the evening.
