A winter walk through Nuuksio's forests
On this easy-paced winter walk in Nuuksio National Park, you hike through natural forests and rocky gorges surrounded by lakes formed in the Ice Age. Your guide tells you more about Nuuksio National Park, a natural treasure right next to the urban capital region. Depending on the weather, we snowshoe or walk on easy trails that offer plenty to see from start to finish. It is the perfect chance to fill your lungs with fresh air and enjoy the silence away from the crowds.
As the sun sets, we switch on our head torches and experience the Nordic darkness around us. A warm fire welcomes us as we take a break and enjoy hot drinks at a campfire by a wilderness lake.
Please note that walks after sunset take place in the dark, so a head torch is included for every participant. Snowshoes are included and used when the weather permits. We recommend waterproof outerwear for all participants.
