Guide and program services

Unique activi­ties for groups and trave­lers

Northern Saimaa offers inspi­ring ideas for a wellbeing day (tykypäi­vä), bringing joy, team spirit, and inspi­ra­tion to your workplace. The services are also perfect for other groups, near or far. Fun and communal activi­ties include a Karelian pie workshop, a sourdough bread course, or playing the tradi­tio­nal kantele together – experiences that will stay in your memory.

For trave­lers seeking nature experiences, guided fishing and canoeing trips are available. In winter, you can try ice fishing and tradi­tio­nal winter net fishing, while the Pääsky­vuo­ri Ski Center in Heinä­ve­si invites you to hit the slopes.

Whether it’s a company wellbeing day, an outing with friends, an associa­tion trip, an inter­na­tio­nal travel group, or an indivi­dual traveler – you’ll find what suits you best. Karelian buffets and local delicacies crown the experience.
