Merry Christmas!

The Team Eräkeskus wishes you all a Merry Christmas!

Weather is going a bit mad here as well, no need to hide this! No, we do not have green Christmas, but real winter is different anyhow! After 2 training-days on sled and a snowshoe-hiking during the first days of the Christmas-week, temperatures were rising again to plus degrees, topped by a night with rain. Caused by this unlucky combination, the amount of snow is again on lower limit and some parts of the trails are to icy to use them safely. That's why our guests are at the moment on the way to the cabins, hiking, not sledding. One group already arrived at cabin Hähnijoki, but also Olkikoski and Puuruu cabins will be heated this evening by us to celebrate Christmas evening in wilderness. The team from the base-camp Eräkeskus wishes you all out there a nice evening and a good continuation of the hiking tomorrow!

Just before Christmas, Stefan joined our team, so we are complete with 8 persons again. More about Stefan and his dog Mia an a few days.

We continue every evening doing the snow-dance and stay optimistic, that real winter will be back soon!
