An exciting activity holiday, based in an attractive wooden hotel in one of Finland's most picturesque regions In the remote east of Finland, close to the Russian border, and surrounded by frozen lakes and vast forests, is the lovely Hotel Kalevala. Here our programme includes a variety of winter activities, from ice-fishing to snowmobiling and cross-country skiing to a full day driving dogsleds with friendly and lively huskies. We leave two days free for optional trips or further participation in whatever you have enjoyed the most. All the excursions (apart from dogsledding) begin directly from our hotel.
