New Year's in Finland

27 December 2024. Upon your arrival at Kajaani Airport, you will be met and transferred to Hotel Kalevala. The scenic drive, spanning about an hour, will treat you to the breathtaking snowy landscapes of the Finnish countryside. Upon reaching the hotel, a refreshing Welcome Drink will be served before you check in.

As the evening unfolds, we come together to enjoy our first dinner, marking the beginning of your adventures in this winter wonderland.

After breakfast this morning, you'll get to know each other in the Guided Kalevala Snow Games, where cooperation, imagination, and joy take center stage in playful winter races. These activities are designed to bring everyone together in the spirit of fun and shared experiences.

Afterwards, we'll enjoy lunch before embarking on a 2-hour snowshoe tour, exploring the enchanting taiga forest and the shores of a frozen lake.

As the day winds down, consider indulging in an evening sauna experience, complemented by the hotel's indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis. Conclude the day with a satisfying dinner.

After breakfast, enjoy the thrill of husky, reindeer, and snowmobile sleigh drives, immersing yourself in the unique experiences each ride has to offer.

Recharge with lunch, before an afternoon of free time for optional activities. For those interested, consider joining our optional Meet Santa tour. Santa Claus, well-rested after a busy Christmas, invites guests to visit his office in Kuhmo.

As the day winds down, enjoy a sumptuous dinner, reflecting on the day's adventures in this winter wonderland.
