Bears in the midnight sun

THE MOST AMAZING SUMMER EXPERIENCE IS WAITING FOR YOU

Go on an adventure to Kuusamo near the Russian border and experience bears in the midnight sun. Stay in the Big Club Wilderness Hotel or the floating Aurora Hut glass igloos, wrap yourself in soft sheets in the bear den after a sleepless night, enjoy a long breakfast and shake off the fatigue in the 7-star smoke sauna. Crown your stay with a delicious wild food dinner.

"Welcome to enjoy the care of the wilderness. Let our programmes take you to pure nature, a gentle smoke sauna to melt the rush, mothers to pamper you with pure local food and luxurious silence to lull you into a deep sleep."

Katja and Sirpa, Isonkenkäinen Club

BEAR PACKAGE 326 € /PERSON

2 nights in a 2-bed room
Package price is valid from 8.6.-31.9.2021
 

The package includes 2 nights' accommodation for two people at the Isonkenkäisten Klubi Wilderness Hotel, breakfast, a wild food dinner and one of the most amazing sauna experiences in Finland.  

The 7-star smoke sauna lives up to its name, and the gentle lounges and peat baths, as well as the Isonkenkäinen Club's own food products, guarantee a successful and relaxing holiday.

Bears are seen a few kilometres away at the Bear-Kuusamo viewing site. Every summer, mother bears and their cubs visit the Kuntilampi pond. Especially the cubs' tinkling is a great sight to watch! As the name suggests, Kuntilamm has a small pond where the bears like to swim. In the evening and at night, up to a dozen individuals can visit the filming site. Our knowledgeable guides can tell you about the bears that visit the site and about bear life in general. 

We recommend bear watching on the first day of the trip, leaving plenty of time to enjoy a smoke sauna and wild food dinner on the second evening.

We leave for the bear viewing at 18:00. Return at around 22:00.

We offer an experience that will make you feel part of Finnish nature!

INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE:

PARHAAT UNET

The basic package includes 2 nights accommodation in a 2-bed room at the Isokenkäisten Klubi Wilderness Hotel. If you wish, you can exchange your accommodation for a floating Aurora Hut glass igloo on our lake for an additional fee.

WILD FOOD
DINNER

Wild food plays a big role in our kitchen. Clean raaka-ingredients, berries, mushrooms and wild herbs come from local forests, fish from local lakes, game and other raw materials from the surrounding area.

7-STAR SMOKE SAUNA

 The bliss of the smoke sauna is only understood by those who have experienced it. Our smoke sauna is a great place to take a bath, pamper yourself with peat treatments and take a dip in the clear Heikinjärvi lake in the middle of the night. 

BEARS IN THE WILDERNESS

Our bear viewing and filming site at Kuntilampi is the northernmost in Finland. In midsummer, it doesn't even get dark at midnight. Our viewing season lasts from the beginning of May to the end of September.

EATING IN THE MORNING

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the end of a long evening and go on a taste journey with authentic, traditional Kuusamo wild food. We prepare home-style tasty meals using pure northern ingredients.
