Experiences for Every Season
From foraging wild herbs in the forest to fishing in the pristine waters of Lake Saimaa or training by the lakeside with a personal trainer, Rauhalinna invites you to experience nature in motion.
In the magical light of a Nordic summer evening, explore the trails by foot or bike, or take in the scenery from the water by canoe, boat, or paddleboard. The islands, straits, and canals of Saimaa form a unique mosaic found nowhere else in the world.
With a touch of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of the rare Saimaa ringed seal – the world’s only freshwater seal, and a species that has only around 500 individuals left in the world.
The arrival of autumn sees the forests transform into a golden landscape, marking the perfect time to go mushroom, wild bilberry, and lingonberry picking.
In winter, the forest turns into a wonderland, perfect for snow-based activities, and on clear nights, the Northern Lights may paint the winter sky with their magic.
The unique nature of Lake Saimaa offers moments to be remembered for a lifetime.
