About this experience
This is not just another tour – it’s a rare opportunity to step into authentic Finnish life for a day. Very few activities let you experience so many traditions in one program: learning how locals keep their homes warm in extreme winter, trying snowshoeing and ice fishing on a frozen river and enjoying a homemade Finnish meal by the fire.
What truly sets this activity apart is how close you get to real Finnish culture and everyday traditions. Experiences like this are not offered in many places – here you’ll live “like a Finn” for a day and gain stories and memories you simply can’t find elsewhere.
