Explore a different way of living in Valkea, with no hurry and nature by your doorstep. Find wellness for both body and mind in the surrounding nature and wilderness. Let your senses relax and rejuvenate in the snow covered forest in the winter, or by the placid water under the midnight sun and early morning mist in the summer.
At night, you sleep in total silence, apart from the sounds of the nature, in cabins made from red pine wood without any artificial materials.
The Lapland summer with never ending daylight, can be enjoyed in Valkea by for example hiking, canoeing, biking or fishing.
In the winter, Valkea Lodge offers a fantastic network of nature trails directly from your cabin, perfect for Snowmobile safaris, Snowshoe trekking, Cross-country skiing, Ice-fishing, Snowboarding/Downhill skiing, and last but not least; our own Husky farm with real Siberian huskies.
We are part of Original Lapland, a network of small companies in the shared cultural region between Finland and Sweden.
By taking the Sustainable Finland Pledge I have committed myself for sustainable travelling. I love and respect the nature and show it by taking care of it during my visits. I will also honor the local culture and be thankful for my hosts.
“On my journey I pledge to be like a Finn, and by this, I mean slowing down from within. The wilderness lets me relax and connect, I promise to treat it with the utmost respect. Its forests and lakes should remain plastic-free, so I will not leave any rubbish behind me.
The world-class tap water shall quench my thirst, because in my choices the climate comes first. In Finland it’s our equal right to roam free. This right should be enjoyed responsibly. The berries and mushrooms are there to be eaten, but I’ll stick to the paths that are already beaten. Long before humans the wildlife’s been there, so I won’t set up camp just anywhere. I shall also respect the lives of locals,and will be considerate with cameras or loud vocals. I know Finns can seem just a little reserved, but with this pledge their trust will surely be earned.”
