Where to go? Destinations Finland

Why go to Finland? An exceptional nature of course!

You have to know how to get off the beaten track to discover this wild beauty made up of forests and massive lakes. Cities and villages spread in the woods and rivers: naturally preserved areas where you can breathe pure and healthy air. Depending on the season, Finland has two faces. That of summer and its midnight sun, whose inhabitants enjoy until the last glow in the good mood and the festivities. Then there is the one of winter, more rigorous, with its coat of snow and the cold. The opportunity to slip behind a team of Husky or reindeer, to ski or to descend at full speed the slopes by snowmobile. Drawing their essence from this generous nature, the Finns are warm, welcoming and will welcome you with open arms.
