The word Koiteli comes from Sami language and it means “in the middle” – here in Koiteli you get to enjoy fun outdoor activities in an island located in the middle of two rapids.

Beautiful surroundings, ancient trees and the silence give a feeling of being also in the center of yourself.

You get to try walking on different kind of snowshoes, traditional kick sledge ‘potkuri’ and toboggan ’pulkka’. All these activities will give you the taste of traditional Finnish ways of moving in snow. On top of these you will get to know the wellknown arctic animal; reindeer and hear the stories of local reindeer herder. And of course everyone will experience a short ride in a sledge pulled by the reindeer. 

After the snow activities we will enjoy coffee or tea and everyone will have the chance to make their own souvenir out of wood and pine wood tar. So you will get the scent of Koiteli to take home with you.
