ENJOY ACTIVITIES ON LAKE SAIMAA, ALL YEAR ROUND
Punkaharju is a year-round travel destination, where nature offers activities and experiences.
In winter, from the Harjun Portti Travel Center’s shore, you can access one of Finland’s longest ice skating trails, stretching up to 16 km, where you can stop for waffles at a café or grill sausages at a campfire spot. The cottage village also connects to a partially illuminated cross-country skiing network over 30 km long, and you can go snowshoeing on the opposite ridge area at the Snowshoe Park.
In summer, Punkaharju is at its most beautiful, and our equipment rental offers electric bikes, kayaks, SUP boards, and motorboats. Explore the fish-rich Puruvesi and Pihlajavesi lakes. Nearby, you will also find swimming beaches, cycling routes, and frisbee golf courses.
