Welcome

Spring!

Introduction

This website is dedicated to everyone who loves the Little Bear Trail (Pieni Karhunkierros). Let's enter the world of trees.
On the Tours page, you can book a guided hike or a guided winter lake plunge. From the Virtual Trail, you can step onto the Little Bear Trail’s virtual paths. On the Friends page, you can explore other services around Lake Alajuuma and discover the wonderful world of inspiring photographers. You are also warmly welcome to leave your greetings in the Trail Journal.
Let's walk further into the world of trees. For the curious observer, the Little Bear Trail is a story of fire and ice.
But why?

In Kuusamo, the gates of spring open from March onward. Bright days and a softly soothing sun are both welcomed with thankfulness after 3 months of winter. Guided Bearwalk begins with a short body-opening session and ends with restorative movement to help you recover after a 12 km hike.

Winter lake plunge

Winter lake plunge

This is a memory that will serve you on your path. By stepping into cold water you will be fully at the present moment.

Your guide, Timo Lampila, will provide you with practical and safe tools to approach the winter lake plunge with confidence.

After the cold water, you may restore warmth in the heat of a sauna — or you can choose to awaken your inner sauna with a heart-friendly exercise.

What to take with you: a swimming suit
