Activity holiday in South Karelia

What a lovely holiday week full of adventures in the nature of the Saimaa region!

The surroundings of Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland and the fourth-largest lake in Europe, create a wonderful environment for hiking. The unique nature, geological attractions, and cultural history of the Saimaa region have received international recognition, as Saimaa Geopark was awarded UNESCO Global Geopark status in the spring of 2021.

Let's go on an adventure together and enjoy this wonderful area and the nature of the Saimaa region. On this holiday, we will go kayaking, cycling, and hiking together. Maybe you’d like to go on a cruise or take a city walk to Lappeenranta Fortress?
