Varied terrain and wonderful landscapes of Himos offer you many marked trails for hiking or snowshoeing.
HIKING IN HIMOS
Pack your backpack with water and some snacks, put on your outdoor clothes and good shoes and go experience Himos by foot. Whether you want to walk more flat trails or challenge yourself in more hilly trails, Himos hiking trails have it all. You can boost your hiking with Nordic walking poles and grant your upper body a good exercise.
Typical Finnish scenery with pines, spruces and birches will help you calm down and relax. In the summer and autumn time the forests are full of nature’s own delicacies, for example blueberries, lingonberries or variety of mushrooms, such as chanterelles for you to pick. The Finnish specialty, everyman’s rights, grant you the right to pick up nature’s goodies freely in the forests.
In the winter time, the experience of hiking in a dark forest with a headlamp and off-road hiking with snowshoes is something to remember. The warm of the camp fire gives you an unique feeling of warmth when the surroundings are full of snow and the temperature is low.
The shortest trails are just a few kilometers long and great opportunity to experience nature with children. Most of Himos hiking routes pass by a camp fire place, where you can take a break and grill sausages or marshmallows or just sit and enjoy the warm of the camp fire.
If you don’t want to go on a hike independently, we can organise guided nature and hiking trips with our local partners.
