A peaceful canoe adventure
Discover the beauty of Lake Lammasjärvi on a relaxing guided canoe trip starting right by the hotel.

A wonderful way to experience Finnish lake nature at its best.

Explore the wilderness on a fat bike
Experience the freedom of cycling through the beautiful landscapes surrounding Kuhmo. Together with your guide, you can choose your route according to your interests and abilities – from easy forest paths to more adventurous trails leading deeper into nature.
Enjoy the fresh air, peaceful forests and the thrill of discovering places you might otherwise never find.
The guided tour lasts approximately two hours and includes a fat bike, helmet, guide and refreshments.
An unforgettable night with wild brown bears
Experience one of Finland’s most fascinating wildlife encounters. In the wilderness of Kuhmo, you have the opportunity to observe wild brown bears in their natural habitat from the comfort and safety of a specially designed observation hide.
As evening falls and the forest grows quiet, wait for the magical moment when a bear appears. With a little luck, you may also spot eagles, wolverines, wolves and other wildlife.
The experience includes transfers, an early dinner at the bear centre, guidance before entering the observation hides and snacks for the night. After an unforgettable night in the forest, return to the hotel in the morning for breakfast.
Discover the healing power of the forest
Finnish forests have long been a source of wellbeing, traditional knowledge and natural remedies. Join us for a unique hands-on experience where you will discover the fascinating properties of spruce resin.
Together with your guide, head into the forest to collect resin and learn how to prepare a traditional resin cream over an open fire. While the cream is slowly being prepared, enjoy a small outdoor snack and the peaceful atmosphere of the forest.
You will make your own little jar of resin cream to take home – a unique souvenir inspired by Finnish nature and traditional knowledge.
The experience lasts approximately 3–4 hours.
Peat sauna – a deeply relaxing Finnish experience
Treat yourself to a truly special Finnish sauna experience. Discover the traditional peat sauna, combining the soothing warmth of the sauna with natural local peat. Let the warmth and peaceful atmosphere help you unwind after your outdoor adventures.
