Together, we will explore and enjoy the fairytale winter paradise. Try cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing. The trails will lead us along the lake and through forests to exciting viewpoints. We might spot a few moose or wolves, but for sure, there will be no other humans. A longer excursion will bring us to a creek where we will find the frozen stairs of a waterfall. Many animals are around the lake and you will learn to tell their tracks apart. How about catching a fish through the thick ice? It’s not easy, but fun trying. And at night on a clear sky, we will be rewarded by watching the dancing Northern Lights.
The incredible silence may only be interrupted by the howling of the wolves. If you want to spend more relaxing days at the beautiful lodge just lay back in the warmth of your cozy cabin. Or ease off and try a sauna.
