Unohtumaton elämys

Experience Wild Koli

Koli is a gem of Finland’s national landscapes, offering breathtaking views and unique natural experiences. Its highest peak, Ukko-Koli, offers a magnificent panorama of Pielinen, and the area’s numerous hiking trails lead visitors through old forests, clear waterways and ridges.
The cultural history of Koli is rich and is reflected in the region’s traditions and art. In winter, Koli becomes a snowy paradise for skiing and snowshoeing, while in summer the region’s lakes beckon paddlers and fishermen. Koli is not only a nature lover’s dream, but also a paradise for active holidaymakers and hikers seeking peace and quiet.

Kolin kulttuurihistoria on rikas, ja se näkyy alueen perinteissä ja taiteessa. Talvisin Koli muuttuu lumiseksi paratiisiksi, jossa voi hiihtää ja lumikenkäillä, kun taas kesäisin alueen järvet kutsuvat melojia ja kalastajia. Koli ei ole vain luonnon ystävän unelma, vaan se on myös aktiivisen lomailijan ja rauhaa etsivän retkeilijän paratiisi.
