In Posio, days feel longer in a good way. Forests seem endless, lakes change color with the sky, and there is no need to hurry anywhere. Mornings start quietly, evenings fade slowly, and it becomes easy to forget about time and plans.

During your stay, you can spend the days as you like. Walk through Korouoma Canyon and look up at its high rock walls and waterfalls, or head to Riisitunturi National Park for a hike with open views and fresh air. You might spend a few hours fishing on clear northern waters, visit a reindeer farm and meet the animals, or step into local workshops where ceramic art is still made by hand. Each day brings time outdoors, a good meal, and moments to simply stop and look around.

You stay by a calm lake at Lehtiniemi Guesthouse, with cozy rooms, shared spaces, and a Finnish sauna ready at the end of the day — by the water or indoors. Getting around is easy, and everything is arranged so you don’t have to rush. Evenings are for warm food, quiet conversations, or watching the sky in case the Northern Lights appear. Come to Posio to slow down, breathe deeper, and take a piece of that calm home with you!

Route details

Day 1
Arrival and Relaxing Evening

The journey begins with arrival in Posio, either by transfer from Rovaniemi or Kuusamo or by your own car. During the day, you take part in one of the selected activities, followed by a relaxed lunch surrounded by northern nature. After the day’s experience, you arrive at Lehtiniemi Guesthouse, set in a peaceful lakeside area.

The evening is unhurried. You can enjoy time at the guesthouse, step into a traditional Finnish sauna by the lake or indoors, and later sit down for a light evening meal. If conditions allow, the night can continue with free time under the northern sky or an optional Northern Lights outing, offering a chance to end the day beneath open Arctic darkness.
