What's going on now in October and November, maybe in December as well, before we get snow ➡️

Day hikes continue in Nuuksio National Park's peaceful forest, nobody else there on weekdays 👌

Camping with summer prices in Nuuksio goes on until continuous freezing conditions (after which I'll change to hot tent winter camping) 🏕

🇫🇮 Erityisesti paikallisille: vaellusvarusteista on syksyisin isoja alennuksia, joten nyt on vielä hyvä hetki tulla kurssille oppimaan, kuinka vaeltaminen onnistuu. Marraskuun alkupuolen jälkeen seuraavat kurssit ensi keväänä 🌞

Last chance for beginners hiking course or camping trip in May or June! My last available dates for camping trips in both May and June are now on the first week of May. Other than that there's only few day hikes left until July. For early birds the first chance for a camping trip this spring is between April 23rd and 25th.

Kesäiset säät jatkuvat vielä syyskuun puolivälin tienoille asti ja sen jälkeen koittaa parhaat vaellusajat syksyn väreissä. Nuuksion ja Repoveden kansallispuistoissa parasta aikaa ruskavaelluksille ovat viime vuosina olleet syyskuun viimeinen viikko (39) ja lokakuun ensimmäinen (40). Molemmille viikoille mahtuu vielä pari yksityistä vaellusta, joten kannattaa varata piakkoin. 😉🍂

Summer is here! My calendar is full of camping trips, which is nice for me, but to those who are still looking for a lovely hike during the summer months the options are running low. Here are the last available dates:

June: 7th to 9th

July: 9th to 12th

August: 8th to 11th and 22nd to 31st

You can check my current availability here: https://finnishfriend.com/availability/

Early September is still mostly summer season here in Southern Finland and from mid-September to mid-October is the best time for autumn hikes, so keep that in mind if you miss the summer camping.

Here's something new and special for this summer: over 100 km long trek in Nuuksio National Park. Being just half an hour drive away from Helsinki Airport I'm honestly quite proud of making a trek this long possible so close to the capital 😎 And it's on small paths in the forest like a really good hike should be, not on roads.

You can choose either a 4 day trek for a total of 100 km or 5 days and 125 km. Every day is 25 km long.

Camping and swimming by the lakes every night 👌

Hyvää uuttavuotta! 💥 Happy New Year!

Talvi yllätti retkeilijät positiivisesti 🥰 Vaelluksista, vaelluskursseista ja lumikenkäilyistä voi maksaa jopa puolet liikuntaeduilla, joten jos niitä on vielä käyttämättä tältä vuodelta, käytä ne nyt hyödyksi maksamalla osuuden tulevista retkistä etukäteen. Voit tehdä maksuja ePassin, Smartumin ja Edenredin kautta. Löydyn palveluista tällä samalla nimellä, Finnish Friend. Laita viesti WhatsAppilla, jos kaipaat lisätietoja 😉

Joulu mielessä, m***a myös jo ensi kesä: lahjakortit opastetuille vaelluksille ja vaelluskursseille. Matkat sisältävät kaikki vaellusvarusteet, lahjansaaja tarvitsee vain intoa lähteä telttailemaan.

Talvi on saapunut, m***a usean päivän luontoseikkailuja ei tarvitse unohtaa kevääseen asti. Repovedellä voi kulkea päivät kansallispuiston halki ja yöksi lämmittää kodan. Ihanaa luksusta pakkasilla. Vaellus onnistuu lumikenkäillenkin, sitten kun lunta on tullut yli 30 senttiä 💙❄️
