Winter in Eräkeskus

Winter has arrived – quiet and clear, it settles over the landscape. After the first light snowfalls in late autumn, the white blanket has grown, covering forests and trails and softening the sounds of nature. The days are short, the nights long and cold, and with a little luck, the northern lights dance across the sky. The lakes are now frozen solid, ice crystals sparkle in the morning light, and every breath forms small clouds in the cold air.

The quiet of winter lies over everything – but here at Eräkeskus, life is just beginning to truly awaken. Our sled dogs are full of energy and ready to go, eager to run through the snowy forests. For them, the most beautiful time of the year is beginning – and for us too.

Would you like to experience this special winter atmosphere for yourself?

Then visit us and join our sled dogs on unforgettable tours through the snowy wilderness. Whether it is a day trip or a multi-day adventure, our winter programmes offer the perfect mix of nature, dog-loving experiences and Nordic cosiness.
