Weather and clothing
Finland goes through four seasons each year. When temperatures easily vary from -30C to +30C during the year, you have to be prepared for each season with certain clothing. The prices of clothes are relatively high in Finland, so it is recommended to pack suitable clothing with you.
If you have booked safaris from us, you will receive warm clothing from us. You can keep the clothing throughout your stay.
Underneath you should wear your own thermal layers. The colder the weather, the more layers you’ll need. Too much is considered a better option than too little, especially on less active safaris like husky and reindeer rides or snowmobile safaris.
For those safaris that include campfire coffees or lunches, we recommend to wear our overall, to keep your own clothes safe from the sparks and ashes. If you wish, you may also use your own clothing, but we are not responsible for any damage to personal gear during the excursions.
For more active snowshoeing trips it’s more comfortable to wear your own ski clothing.
We will provide you:
- Overall
- Boots
- Gloves
- Woollen socks
- Helmets for snowmobile safaris (please return the helmet after each safari)
Clothing pick-up
- Departure for the safaris is from the Hotel Iso-Syöte lobby. Please arrive no later than 15 minutes before the start time of the program, or 30 minutes beforehand if you do not yet have your safari equipment.
- Safari equipment can be collected from the safari room on weekday mornings between 8:30–9:30. Snowmobile helmets are provided at the start of the safari.
Clothing return
- Please return your safari clothing after your last excursion.
- If you still like to use the clothing after your last safari, please return it in the safari room before your check-out. If the Safari Room is closed when returning the clothing, please leave it in the Safari Room lobby.
- Please don’t leave any safari clothing in your room, suite or cottage.
