Active vacations in Finland next to Repovesi National Park

If energetic fun and activities are your thing, there's plenty to keep you busy here! Cliff abseiling, off-road biking and a range of motorised activities will add an element of speed and excitement to your holiday.

Why not try cliff abseiling amid the magnificent scenery of Repovesi Natural Park? Unless you’re acrophobic, of course!

If you prefer speed over height, round up a group of four and take off with enduro bikes! Enduro safaris are organised on diverse tracks around WHD Gård in Nurmaa, and suit everyone from novices to experienced riders.

Or get behind the wheel and try off-road driving in places not accessible on foot! In addition to being highly enjoyable, off-roading develops your driving and manoeuvring skills. Fun and useful!

Our ideas and tips for active holidays don’t end there. The surrounding nature offers an unbeatable landscape for cross-country cycling, which is hugely popular. Bring your own bike or rent one from us. The beautiful, gently rolling hills cater to riders of all levels.

If water is more your element, the nearby lakes are ideal for SUP boarding, kayaking, canoeing and other aquatic activities.

 

Ideas for rest and relaxation

If speed and motor-boosted activities fail to get your engine running, there’s still a lot you can do. Our summer activities also cater to visitors who prefer spending their time adrenaline-free.

Those looking for a more peaceful getaway can enjoy Repovesi National Park by hiking,or try archery or disc golf. SUP boarding, canoeing and cross-country cycling can be a fun way to spend your day as well.

Pack a snack and a bottle of sun cream and head out to Lake Nurmaanjärvi by SUP board or canoe. Enjoy the peace and quiet, tune in to the surrounding nature and select the perfect cove for lunching in. A sunny summer day out on the lake – what could be better? Rental SUP boards and canoes are available from WHD Gård in Nurmaa.

If you’re travelling with a group, give archery a go! It is a straight-forward sport suitable for all ages. You can get started quickly, with no prior experience required – just clear your mind and focus.
