Finland winter holiday, tour skating

Planet

Tour skating is sports, which uses your own muscles as a motor. Our other alternatives for moving around are physical as well: kick-sledging, skiing or snowshoeing. Instead of snowmobiling, our guests will take a safari by electric snowscooters on lake ice. As the winters are shorter and shorter, also the time for tour skating on natural ice is very limited. Typically tour skating is possible latest from the end of January to the beginning of March.

Trains are used as transportation from Helsinki to the lake district in order to keep the carbon footprint as low as possible.

Tour operator as well as our partners in Puumala all have Sustainable Travel Finland certificate, which also requires another certification suitable for the service provider. Skafuuri Oy has a Biosphere certificate.

People

Lake district is located far out from the big industrial cities. Traditionally the local population has got their living from farming, fishing and forestry. Tourism creates working places especially during the high season in summer. This product is created in co-operation with the local entrepreneurs to attract visitors also in winter season. This product offers a great alternative for avoiding over-touristic locations in Lapland.

All service prividers are privately owned, local companies.
