The path between Valamo and Lintula is more than a hiking route — it is a quiet line drawn through forest, water, and history. Over four days, you follow the same trail that has connected these two monasteries for generations, walking through landscapes shaped by time, faith, and nature.
The journey begins in Valamo Monastery, where you settle in and explore the grounds before setting out on the trail. Over the following days, you walk through varied terrain: forest paths, sandy roads, narrow trails, and open sections along waterways. The route passes the Taivallahti Canal, part of Finland’s national heritage, and continues toward Lintula Monastery, with a stop at Palok along the way. Each hiking day is balanced with warm meals, time to rest, and moments to enjoy the silence of the surroundings. The daily distance is manageable, yet rewarding, offering both physical movement and mental calm.
Accommodation is arranged at Valamo Monastery, where evenings are spent in a peaceful setting with sauna and shared meals. This journey is for those who enjoy meaningful routes, simple comfort, and the feeling of moving forward step by step — following a path that has been walked for centuries.
Please inquire about the availability of the trip in 2026.
