Hiking Trip to Sipoonkorpi National Park with Lunch, Transfer & Sauna Experience

About the Activity

What to Expect

Experience an unforgettable hiking tour from Helsinki to Sipoonkorpi National Park with a campfire barbecue lunch and a visit to a Finnish smoke sauna. Begin your adventure with a scenic 30-minute drive from Helsinki, where the cityscape gives way to the lush greenery of the Finnish wilderness. Accompanied by a professional wilderness guide, you will explore the enchanting Sipoonkorpi National Park, traversing forested trails that weave through the heart of nature. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights into Finnish wildlife and the natural world surrounding you.

The highlight of our journey is a stop at a rocky vista overlooking a shimmering freshwater lake, the perfect backdrop for a delightful campfire barbecue. As you savour grilled delicacies, take in the breathtaking views and the serene soundscape of nature. Feeling rejuvenated, we continue our hike towards the traditional Finnish smoke sauna, a unique experience that promises relaxation and cultural immersion. Here, you will unwind as the sauna's warmth envelops you, and you can even partake in the invigorating practice of throwing water on the heated rocks, known as "löyly".

After enjoying the sauna, step outside for a refreshing dip in the lake. The crisp, cool water is a rejuvenating contrast to the sauna's heat, and you are welcome to repeat this invigorating cycle of warmth and fresh water as many times as you wish. For those daring enough to join us in winter, an arctic dip in the ice-cold water awaits, adding an extra thrill to your adventure. This medium-difficulty, six-hour hike is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience the beauty of Finland's landscapes and cultural heritage.
