There are plenty of outdoor activities to do all year around at Isokenkäisten
Klubi. People who love to be outside in the nature and silence of the border, for example you can do cross- country skiing, hiking, nordic walking or snow shoe walking. And if you are looking for more speed you can choose either snow mobile- or a quad bike safaris, or maybe you should try ice racing with the rally cars!
