Book one of our great fares to Finland and fall under the spell of this beautiful country. There are 188,000 lakes littered amongst the heavily forested countryside, a veritable paradise for eager hikers, cross-country skiers, anglers and water-sport enthusiasts. Finland also has more than 35 national parks covering a total of 8,000 km², home to rare birds, reindeer and moose, promising unparalleled encounters with the natural world. In the warm summer months the lakes are perfect for a quick dip to cool off but also for a spot of angling. Set up your tent, grill your catch and add in a few wild mushrooms and berries. The cold months transform Finland into a winter-sport paradise. The smaller lakes freeze over and are great for skating and ice hockey games. In the woods you can ski cross-country or enjoy the pistes for downhill skiing and snowboarding from October to May for up to 16 hours a day. After a long day on the slopes the best way to unwind is in a Finnish sauna, an essential part of Finnish culture.
