Did you know that IKEA meatballs has now also a plant-based version? 🌱
They are made from pea protein, potatoes, onions, oats and apples and are as good and tasty as traditional IKEA meatballs - but without containing any meat. Instead, the perfect meaty taste comes from added umami flavors such as mushrooms, tomatoes and roasted vegetables. 🙂

If you wish to taste these newcomers, you can join us on our day trip to IKEA on Saturday 18th.

Did you know that Riisitunturi is known for its crown snow-loaded trees?
Crown snow-load is formed when snow and hard rime accumulates on tree branches and structures. It starts to develop latest in October when tree needles, sprig and moss sprout are covered by the thinnest of rimes. Over the winter, new snow gathers on trees layer by layer creating beautiful crown snow-loaded trees. 🌲❄

On our weekend trip to Kuusamo you'll have a guided trip to Riisitunturi National Park and get to see this beautiful phenomenom yourself.
