FROM WILDERNESS TO CULTURE
This itinerary pairs two distinctive boutique properties to create a seamless introduction to Finland’s essence: pristine nature, thoughtful design, and a deep sense of culture.
Together, Haltia Lake Lodge and RUNO Hotel Porvoo create a balanced and coherent product: wilderness and wellbeing followed by culture and character. The pairing works naturally for first-time visitors to Finland as well as experienced travellers seeking depth, contrast, and authenticity - without complexity.
Haltia Lake Lodge
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.
RUNO Hotel Porvoo
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.
