FROM WILDERNESS TO CULTURE

Haltia Lake Lodge, set within Nuuksio National Park just outside Helsinki, offers an immersive start in Finnish wilderness. Surrounded by forests and lakes, and located next to The Finnish Nature Centre Haltia, the lodge is defined by simplicity, silence, and seasonal rhythm. Guided hikes, outdoor activities, local food, and Finnish sauna culture form a restorative nature experience that feels remote, yet is reached without long transfers.

The journey continues through the capital Helsinki and ends in the historic heart of Porvoo at RUNO Hotel Porvoo, Finland’s first Michelin Key hotel. Located in the Old Town, RUNO represents contemporary Finnish hospitality rooted in craftsmanship, culture, and sensory detail. Cobbled streets, colourful wooden houses, galleries, cafés, and riverside views create a slow-travel setting where guests can explore history, art, and local cuisine at an unhurried pace.
