Description
Step into the heart of Lapland’s pristine wilderness and experience one of the most authentic Nordic traditions – berry and mushroom picking in the wild. Join us for a guided foraging trip through the peaceful forests of Finnish Lapland, where nature offers its finest gifts. Under the guidance of a local expert, you’ll learn to identify and collect seasonal wild berries such as blueberries, cloudberries, and lingonberries – as well as delicious mushrooms like golden chanterelles and porcini. Notice! Mushrooms can be found from end of July. This is more than just a walk in the forest – it’s a journey into the soul of Finnish nature and culture. You’ll hear fascinating stories, enjoy the fresh arctic air, and maybe even spot reindeer along the way. The excursion includes a cozy forest break with warm drinks and pancaces cooked in a fireplace with berries you found. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, foodie, or simply curious about the Nordic lifestyle, this is a must-try experience.
