"The
sky is clear, and in summer even the nights are lit up by the sun. Clear
water tumbles down in dozens of rapids. The evergreen softwood forests allow
you to experience silence. Finland´s best-known tourist and natural resort,
Kuusamo, lets you enjoy the genuine, natural beauty of the landscape. At
the heart of Finland, Kuusamo lies only one hour´s direct flight from Helsinki.
Just a day´s drive along well-maintained roads will take motorists from
southern Finland to the adventureland of Kuusamo.Unforgettable experiences
await you at the Arctic Circle. |

In Kuusamo,
you find yourself in a genuine, natural environment. The rugged rocks, foaming
rapids and smooth waters are all forces of nature, which when standing by
tumbling rapids, overwhelm you. |
| Kuusamo
is a genuine source of delight for the whole family. Take any nature trail,
and you will discover a diversity of plants, forest trees and marsh shrubs
bearing berries. In Kuusamo, you can loose sight of people, but certainly
see animals - a reindeer family passes by, a squirrel peeps from a tree,
and Siberian jays and wooper swans add to the diverse birdlife of Kuusamo." |
