Day 1
Settling into your basecamp Hotel Haltia Lake Lodge
Immerse yourself in the spirit of adventure as you settle into your base camp at Hotel Haltia Lake Lodge. Nestled on the doorstep of Nuuksio National Park, Haltia Lake Lodge is a haven of ecological luxury, only 40 minutes away from Helsinki Airport.
Choose your accommodation type from 20 stylish hotel rooms or experience the blend of comfort and nature in one of the five luxurious Lodge glamping tents.
Raise that team spirit!
Upon check-in, prepare for an exhilarating outdoor team activity organized by Haltia Lake Lodge. Select from various themes, including Adventure, Nature Knowledge, Wellness, or Outdoor Cooking & Foraging.
While you're thinking between e-fatbiking, canoeing, forest yoga, and outdoor cooking, we chose an Abseiling Adventure for you!
The adventure starts with a 15 min easy hike to the 20 m vertical cliff, one of Finland's most well-known outdoor climbing spots. Here you will gear up with a harness & a helmet and learn the basics of using a rope to decent a cliff. Don't worry; the climbing instructor secures you even though you will do the work! With good views to the Nuuksio Pitkäjärvi -lake, this is a great activity and does not require former climbing experience.
Dinner at the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia
After experiencing an adrenaline rush, it's time to relax and rejuvenate in Haltia Lake Lodge's sauna, reserved just for your group. Indulge in some delectable snacks and refreshing beverages as you unwind.
Delight in a warm welcome dinner at Restaurant Haltia, conveniently located next door to the hotel. Be captivated by the enchanting ambience as you savour delicious cuisine crafted from local ingredients.

We kickstart the morning with a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Fuel your bodies and minds, for it's time to delve into your important discussions in the meeting facilities provided by Haltia Lake Lodge. The NOOX meeting room is perfect for 10-20 people, And if you require more space to unleash your creativity, head to the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia next door.
Ready, Set, Go! Unleash the Thrill!
After the official part of the morning, it's time to spend the rest of the day full of pulse-pounding activities. We'll have a transfer to the scenic rural estate of Yli-Takkula, nestled on the opposite side of the Nuuksio National Park. Yli-Takkula is a basecamp for Eventure, specialising in high-quality outdoor activities and adventures for business groups.
At Yli-Takkula, we'll enjoy a delightful lunch at their charming summer kitchen and terrace. Then, let the games begin as you partake in heart-pounding challenges designed to ignite team spirit!

Day 3
Wild herbs and wilderness cooking
On the last day in Espoo, let's lower the energy levels a bit after the activities of the previous two days and head to the wild herb excursion and the wilderness cooking class with Hawkhill.
Hawkhill is a family-owned company by Kaitlampi Lake in Nuuksio, offering high-class villa and cottage accommodation, guided activities and a unique private dining concept at their forest restaurant.
At Hawkhill's Wild Herb Course, we will get the best tips on identifying, foraging, handling, preserving and enjoying the plants. A trained wilderness guide, an eager wild herb enthusiast happily shares her tastiest recipes too!
After a short lesson on wild herbs, it's time to learn the traditional way of cooking in Finland - cooking over an open fire - with Hawkhill's wilderness chef. Our upcoming lunch's ingredients are sourced locally and include wild herbs we just collected.
