Embrace the beauty of winter in Finland on a hiking day trip in Liesjärvi National Park. Walk through a winter wonderland on a tranquil day amongst towering pine trees and blankets of snow.
Your day trip from Helsinki brings you to one of Finland’s oldest national parks. Considered a hidden gem of Southern Finland, Liesjärvi National Park is a great place to enjoy silence and peace as snow gently falls and blankets the entire forest.
Arriving at Liesjärvi National Park, begin your walk through the forest on Liesjärvi's winter trails. Your guide will show you the hidden details of the forest and wildlife which inhabit Finland. You may see tracks of animals living in the subarctic forest such as the red fox, mountain hare, and moose.
After around an hour of walking, you arrive at a beautiful wilderness hut that is heated by a campfire. While your guide starts the fire and prepares a traditional Finnish-style lunch and campfire coffee, there is time to take photos, throw snowballs, and enjoy the peace of the forest.
After lunch, continue to explore the beauty of Liesjärvi under the towering snow-covered spruces, and return to the starting point feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from this wonderful experience in nature.
On this day trip, you spend approximately 4.5 hours within the national park.
