Description

Join our experienced guide for this 8-day hiking tour through the beautiful forests in Kainuu, eastern Finland!

Each day we will hike between 15 and 20 kilometers, depending on the physical fitness level of the group. The majority of our hiking will be done in the ancient boreal forests of the region as well as some swamp land.

As we make our way through this pristine natural environment, we will pass by numerous different types of evergreen trees, wet mires, ponds and lakes. A number of different species of birds, insects and mammals all call this environment home and we will have various opportunities to spot different types of wildlife along our way.

There is not very much climbing involved in this hiking trek, but while we are walking along the Russian border, we will have several viewpoints from which to see the sprawling forests all around us.

At the forest huts we stay in each night, you will have the opportunity to sample various types of local cuisines made with fruits from the forest as well as other fresh local ingredients.

We will have explored only a small section of this beautiful country by the end of our trip, but hopefully it has whet your appetite for a timely return to see even more of what Finland has to offer.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for scenic and enjoyable 8-day, hut-to-hut hiking tour through the boreal forest of eastern Finland!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our 1+ day of kayaking in Linnansaari National Park!

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.
