Magical Winter Wonderland in Karelia
Trip highlights:
- Karelian cuisine and culture in Bomba
- Helsinki – capital on the Baltic Sea
- A wide range of attractive winter excursions
Nordic winter adventures between nature and city
Deep in eastern Finland, Karelia awaits with its snow-covered forests and a fascinating winter adventure. You shape your programme yourself: from a husky sleigh ride through snowy landscapes, to a snowshoe hike, a forest walk or a horse-drawn sleigh ride. In addition, you experience the warmth of Karelian hospitality – a journey between nature, culture and Nordic magic.
Day 1: Switzerland - Travemünde
Early departure from Switzerland. During the journey you pass through varied landscapes to the port city of Travemünde on the Bay of Lübeck. In the evening you board the modern Finnlines ferry.
Day 2: Travemünde - Helsinki
A day of tranquillity across the calm Baltic Sea. On board the ferry you will find restaurants, bars and boutiques. You can enjoy the vastness of the sea or use the time to relax.
Day 3: Helsinki - Karelia
After arriving in Helsinki, you travel into the mystical east of Finland to Bomba in Karelia. The landscape becomes increasingly wild and untouched – first impressions of the snowy north.
Day 4: Karelia
A day full of possibilities in the fascinating region of Karelia. Optionally, you can join a one-hour forest walk (optional) with a local guide or enjoy a 30-minute horse-drawn sleigh ride (optional). The evening with a Karelian dinner at Restaurant Bomba is a culinary experience.
Day 5: Karelia
The day offers further activities: a one-hour snowshoe hike (optional) takes you deeper into the wintry forests, and a visit to the fascinating huskies with a subsequent sledge ride (optional) is an unforgettable experience. The evening invites you to relax.
Day 6: Karelia - Helsinki
On the journey south you visit the impressive Puijo Tower near Kuopio – an observation tower with a magnificent view over lakes and forests. In the afternoon you reach Helsinki and check into your centrally located hotel.
Day 7: Helsinki
In the morning you explore the Finnish capital on a German-speaking city tour. Afterwards you have some free time. In the afternoon you board the return ferry.
Day 8: Helsinki - Travemünde
After a calm ferry crossing you arrive in Travemünde in the evening. Overnight stay at the comfortable Maritim Strandhotel.
Day 9: Travemünde - Switzerland
