Finnish Midnight Sun
Finnish Midnight Sun

Bathed in perpetual summer light with thousands of lakes, the clean silky waters of Finland are ideal for swimming at any time. Based in a family house in Kormu, the tours features swims and saunas by the Lakes Sakara and Punelia with a special swim through Hämeenlinna City. 

The plan is to combine as much walking with the swims so that we reduce our dependency on motorised transport wherever possible. With canoe escorts on the swims and walks on paths and tracks, the tour will open the eye to Finland’s natural beauty.
