After lunch, take a sleigh ride (600m) in a snowy forest. The activity offers great opportunities to take pictures and experience authentic wilderness life. You can also try reindeer lasso throwing. While you enjoy sausages and hot drinks around the campfire in a warm kota, the reindeer herder tells us more about life at the ranch.
In the impressive forests of Ukkohalla, which are crowned by snow-capped clumps, hills and open lakes, you can hike with snowshoes wherever you want to go - enjoy it without hurry. Due to the amount of snow in the area, it is possible to do snow hikes well into spring.
Guided snowshoe hike through the centuries-old spruce forest to the Paljakkavaara viewpoint.
Experience the magnificent panoramic view over the Ukkohalla-Paljakka region. The nature trail to the observation tower leads through an old spruce forest. There you can breathe in the fresh, clean air and simply enjoy the quiet surroundings. The 384 meter high tower is located in Paljakkavaara, from where you have a beautiful view over the spruce top. After this magical walk and the soothing sights, coffee is served in a warm Kota hut.
