Description

Join our experienced guide for this 1-week hiking tour through the scenic Taiga forest along the Finnish-Russian border!

We will spend the week hiking in solitude as we explore the northeast region of Kainuu, which boasts a diverse array of pristine scenery including moorlands, lakes, ridges and ancient spruce forests.

Since we will be in the remote wilderness of the Taiga, there will also be plenty of opportunities to see the unique and native wildlife species of the region. Wolverines, brown bears and timber wolves all make their homes in this region.

When we finish our daily hike, which will usually cover about 19 kilometers, we will enjoy fine Finnish hospitality. The walks are usually relatively flat, but a fair amount of physical fitness is required for this trip.

Each night we will stay at a forest hut where we will enjoy a traditional meal made with fresh fruit from the forest as well as other locally sourced ingredients. Some huts will even have a sauna, which we will be able to use before taking a refreshing dip in a nearby lake.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this epic 1-week hiking tour through the beautiful Taiga forest along the Finnish-Russian border!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
