The Season Pass for Nature gives you self-service access to Natura Viva's outdoor gear at ten locations around Helsinki and in Southern Finland's national parks. Paddle the Baltic archipelago in summer, ride a fatbike through snowy forest in winter, and never buy, store or haul equipment yourself. Especially popular with international residents of Helsinki: start with our beginners' kayak course in English and paddle all summer.
