Description

Situated in the heart of northern Finland, Pyhä-Luosto National Park sprawls over 142 square kilometers of old growth forest, unique wetland and modest mountain scenery.

Among the best ways to explore this stunningly scenic national park in the winter is to head out in a pair of snowshoes and make some tracks!

Over the course of our 2-day adventure, we will head through the Rykimäkuru Gorge and beyond, well into Pyhä-Luosto National Park.

The adventure begins in Pyhätunturi, where we will meet up the day before the trip to go over the plan and rent out the equipment (included in price). The following morning, we will meet up and head out into the heart of the national park to begin the trip.

Over the next 5.5 hours, we will snowshoe through the old growth forest, marveling at the 400-year-old trees and enjoying the solitude of being alone in the woods. By 4pm, we will have reached the Kuukkeli Wilderness Hut.

We’ll spend the rest of the day heating up the hut, exploring a bit and experiencing an authentic Finnish sauna in the evening.

The following day, we will pack up our gear (which we will be pulling behind us in traditional sleds) and head out to get some views of the Lappish fells.

After a pause for lunch back at the hut, we will continue on through the Rykimäkuru Gorge, which was uniquely formed through a tear in the Earth’s crust, and eventually return to the starting point of our trip.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
