Embrace the Winter Wonderland: Snowmobile Adventure

As the sun peeks through the clouds, casting a golden hue over Helsinki, the call of the wild beckons. Just 30 kilometers east of the city, a snowmobile adventure awaits, promising an adrenaline rush like no other.

The snowmobile tour kicks off at 9:45 AM, taking you on a thrilling ride through the archipelago. Feel the wind in your face as you navigate the pristine trails, stopping along the way to soak in the breathtaking views and learn about the unique lifestyle of the archipelago’s residents.

After the tour, explore the archipelago at your own pace, using kicksleds or snowshoes. And for the ultimate Finnish experience, indulge in a wood-heated sauna followed by a refreshing dip in the icy waters. This is more than just an adventure; it’s a memory etched in time.
