In the Footsteps of Edelfelt - Snowshoe Treks at Haikko Manor
Be enchanted by the white winter landscape at Haikko Manor with snowshoeing. A relaxed snowshoe trek is a suitable way to refresh both body and mind.
Our route takes us through the same landscapes and places where the beloved painter Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905) was once inspired to capture the beauty of nature and moments.
The snowshoe trek can be combined with a campfire moment with refreshments at Haikko Manor's beach shelter. The final route and duration are always chosen according to the group's wishes and snow conditions.
We use high-quality TSL snowshoes.
The price includes guidance, snowshoes, poles, headlamps if necessary, and liability insurance.
The price does not include possible campfire refreshments (these are agreed separately according to the group's wishes).
Ski Trekking at Haikko's Sea View
Fur-skinned skis or ski shoes are a popular winter nature activity tool – like a cross between skis and snowshoes. No special boots required, just your own winter shoes that support the ankle well (no spiked shoes).
If you wish, you can also rent winter boots from us. Our equipment includes high-quality OAC ski shoes made in Finland.
The route is always chosen according to the group – everyone can manage. At Haikko Manor, we move seamlessly enjoying the maritime winter nature of Porvoo, either on the ice or sheltered by the forest.
The trek can be combined with a campfire break with refreshments at the beach shelter and Haikko Manor's atmospheric beach sauna – with an ice hole, of course!
The price includes professional guidance, quality equipment, poles, and liability insurance and, if necessary, headlamps.
The price does not include possible campfire refreshments or sauna – these are according to the group's wishes.
