Gathering berries and mushrooms has been an important part of Finnish culture for centuries, since it has provided us with the best nutrition next to local fish and self-hunted meat. Forest covers 70% of Finland's surface area, so there's a lot of places you can go look for among others blueberries, mountain cranberry and king mushroom.
During this day trip you will not only gather berries and mushrooms, but you will also learn more about them and how to use them in the traditional Finnish way on the spot!
This experience includes also hiking in our unique nature. However, hiking in the arctic environment is no joke. It’s beautiful, but it can also be extremely harsh. When hiking in the wilderness, you have to know what you’re doing. When you lack the experience, it’s advisable to get a helping hand to guide you through your first experience.
Let us be your guiding hand! We’ll show you what you need and give you a taste of the most beautiful spots near the Rovaniemi area. But be aware! You might get so hooked that your next holiday will be spent here again..
