I Tried Out 6 Fun Winter Activities In Finland

ADVERTISEMENT

While I visited Finland I challenged myself to try out as many activities as possible! I had so much fun to discover this beautiful winter wonderland! The beauty of Finnish winter attracts people to discover and see that magical land.

Usually from late November to late March Finland is covered with fluffy snow, air is freshly crisp and dark evenings are perfect for a cosy winter romance.

    Husky Ride

    Enjoy the speed, watch how dogs co-operate and just relax while they do all the work for you. It is so interesting to see how their team work and how they communicate while they try to run futher. Those dogs are extremely smart also! If they ride on the lake and ice isn´t strong enough they don´t move, according to owner words they have saved him many times from ice swimming!

    Snowshoe hiking

    Thanks to those shoes it is possible to climb way higher and further, surprisingly it is really easy to move with them in the snow also! Finland is great place for this activity with deep snow, endless forests, many lakes and mysterious hills.

    Sauna and ice swimming

    Ice swimming may scare most of the people but it´s like kind of extreme sport. After first time there are big possibility that you just want to feel that more and more. Sauna with bubblebath and ice swimming makes you feel so alive! “Swimming” in the snow is also nice experience, after that the skin feels like new and mind is fresh. Luckily they have saunas almost everywhere, so it´s very easy to join and feel that hot, sweaty and mystical place! This is definitely my new favorite activity to do after long week!

    Icefishing

    It´s fun to wear red fisher-men costume, sit middle of huge lake and try to catch some fish. Meanwhile everything around you is just covered with endless snow and fog, totally surreal experience. Also try to remember that at this point catch is not so important, the main thing is the feeling and experience itself!
