From snowy fells to the frozen sea

Feel free in the open space of the icy shores of the Bothnian Bay. Get into full speed on the snowy slopes of the Syöte fell area.

Oulu

Combine winter activities on the frozen sea with the facilities of the city of Oulu. From Oulu, it’s easy to make day trips to other winter destinations.

Syöte

Finland’s southernmost fell area, Syöte, is just a few hours away from the sea. In the winter time Syöte is extremely snow sure, so you can experience the Finnish winter on skis, snowboard, and snowshoes. How about getting on a sleigh pulled by reindeer or huskies?

A snowboard ride down the fell, or kite surfing on the frozen sea?

Hailuoto

You can cross the frozen sea to Hailuoto island by ferry or, when the ice is thick enough, by car. Either way, it’ll be a trip to remember! For that, and many more reasons, Hailuoto is one of the best frozen sea destinations in Finland.

Liminka

Liminka is known for its birds but this sea side destination is also a good place to get active. Explore the frozen shores on a fat bike or skis!

Kempele

Just a short drive from the Oulu airport, Kempele is a handy destination. It’s easy to find a fun winter activity in this small-size, friendly town.

Raahe

Imagine walking in the great nothingness of the frozen sea. There’s no experience that compares! Try it in Raahe, where you can also learn about the role the icy sea has played in the history of the area.

Ii

The quaint little town of Ii is a lovely destination with diverse nature and waterways, offering memorable winter experiences. Enjoy outdoor activities like ice fishing, coffee made over a campfire, or try the traditional Finnish ice sleigh carousel!
