What are we going to do
The snow covers holes and stones – let snowshoeing begin! A person who knows how to walk will easily learn how to snowshoe and will be able to enjoy the magic of winterly nature. Elevations, snow conditions, and personal speed will offer challenges for each of the hiker’s needs and desires. Snowshoeing represents the top of ecologic activity/exercise. The guides will teach you how to snowshoe and will lead you through the interesting and beautiful scenery of the wilderness of North Karelia. The price includes snowshoes, necessary safety equipment, and guides with their liability insurance. The hiking trip lasts a maximum of 2 hours, depending on the endurance of the group. At the end of the trip, we offer a hot drink.
Snowshoe hikes will take place if there are at least three participants. The maximum group size is 5. For larger groups on request, please contact us.

About Lakeland Karelia - the Doer
Amazing nature! Because of nature and the strong four seasons, we live here in Eastern Finland. We have snowy winter and so strong ice cover of the lakes that you even can drive there by car.
There are lots of wide natural and unspoiled forests in Karelia. Finland’s legal concept of everyman’s right gives everyone the chance to enjoy outdoor pursuits, and the freedom of the country’s vast forests and fells, and many lakes and rivers, with few restrictions. Public access to private land is much wider in Finland than in most other countries. Read more: https://www.ymparisto.fi/en-US/Nature

Timo
Alku jännityksen jälkeen aivan mahtava kokemus! Tainalle kiitokset hyvästä opetuksesta. Ihana paikka, kiitos Sisko!
Salla
Hyvä retki, lähtisin toistekin! Alussa meni suhteellisesti paljon aikaa turvallisuuteen ja varusteiden esittelyihin ennenkuin päästiin vesille, mutta mukana oli ensikertalainen eli oli ymmärrettävää. Opin itsekin paljon uutta.
Päivi
Erittäin opettavainen, mukava, hyvin järjestetty ja onnistunut melontaretki.
