Winter Week with Cabin Night 8 Days/7 Nights
Winter holiday in Eräkeskus - an experience for young and old!
Immerse yourself in a world of snow and silence! If you're longing for pure winter magic, endless expanse, and the enchantment of the Finnish wilderness, you've come to the right place. Experience a magnificent time where the energy of the sled dogs inspires you and nature touches your soul!
Do you dream of leading your own dog sled team through deep snow-covered forests? Would you like to feel the magical silence as the snow sings beneath your runners? Are you looking for a break from everyday life where you feel free and alive?
Then our Winter Week "Plus" is exactly what you need!
What awaits you:
- Two guided dog sled tours where you'll steer your own team and experience the incredible power and joy of the dogs up close.
- An unforgettable cabin night: We'll glide by dog sled into the deep snow-covered wilderness to a cozy cabin where you'll spend the night surrounded by nature – a fantastic adventure! The next morning, "your" dog team will bring you back to the lodge.
- A snowshoe hike through enchanting winter landscapes – decelerating, silent, and of breathtaking beauty.
- Time for yourself: Explore the snowy nature on your own, enjoy the absolute tranquility, or accompany our lovely dogs on a relaxing walk.
Why Eräkeskus?
Eräkeskus stands for authentic experiences in the untouched Finnish wilderness – far from mass tourism and in a warm, family-like atmosphere. Expect true adventures, a deep connection with nature, and genuine slow living.
- Family atmosphere – With just 10 to 16 guests at a time, you’ll enjoy personal attention, heartfelt hospitality, and the feeling of being part of a small community.
- Small groups, big experiences – Our sled dog and hiking tours take place in small groups of 2 to 5 guests – for intense, personal, and close-to-nature moments.
- Untouched wilderness instead of crowded trails – In North Karelia, you’ll hardly meet snowmobiles or tourists – instead, find endless space, deep silence, and pure nature.
- Maximum connection with the dogs – Our dogs are not just part of the tours, but part of the family. You can spend time with them, cuddle them, and learn about their lives and training.
- Gentle tourism & respect for nature – We focus on sustainable experiences with minimal environmental impact – for adventures in harmony with nature.
- Peace & relaxation – Experience winter differently: without rush, but with cozy evenings by the fire, Finnish sauna, and lots of time to breathe.
Difficulty level "2"
This week is designed for guests who enjoy being active and participating. Your help will be particularly needed during the trip to the cabin: over more than 30 kilometers, you'll need to actively assist the dogs repeatedly – on inclines or when fresh snow makes the trail difficult. If you enjoy being outdoors, occasionally hike, bike, or jog, you'll have the best prerequisites. What's most important is that you enjoy activity and are willing to pitch in when needed. The "plus" winter week is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the wintery nature intensely – with long but manageable daily stages, real teamwork with the dogs, and the great feeling of having accomplished something together. Unsure if the tour is right for you? Just get in touch – we're happy to help you further!
