Activities in Suomussalmi: adventure awaits in every season
Discover the untamed spirit of Hossa, where adventure knows no bounds! Summer beckons with endless possibilities: traverse marked hiking trails at your own pace or join expert-guided expeditions that unlock the secrets of this pristine wilderness. Picture yourself gliding across the mystical waters of Julma-Ölkky lake as the midnight sun paints the sky in golden hues or feel the rush of adrenaline as you mountain bike through ancient forests with experienced guides leading the way.
For an unforgettable encounter with Finland’s most majestic predator, join our guided bear-watching tours, where you can safely observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat from the comfort of a specialized viewing cabin.
When winter blankets the landscape in pristine white, Hossa transforms into a snow-covered paradise. Explore dozens of kilometres of groomed winter cycling trails, glide along perfectly maintained cross-country ski tracks, or venture onto untouched powder fields. From December through April, the crystalline winter wonderland sparkles under the ethereal Arctic light, promising adventures as endless as the horizon.
Whether you seek silent solitude or guided exploration, summer thrills or winter enchantment, Hossa offers year-round experiences that will stir your soul and create memories to last a lifetime!
Not only can you take individual hiking trips in the summer, but you can also take part in a range of guided tours and other activities on Hossa’s marked routes and trails. Or, how about canoeing at sunset on the Julma-Ölkky lake or mountain biking with a guide along the trails of Hossa? Also, bear-watching tours allow you to observe the king of the forest from the safety of a cabin with a guide’s assistance. Winter is not a time to hibernate for travellers! Dozens of kilometres of winter cycling trails and maintained ski tracks as well as endless stretches of virgin snow guarantee great outdoor activities from December to April when the spring sun glimmers on the snowy landscape.
