Discover Saimaa

Discover Saimaa organises excursions and events and offers services. We organise nature adventure trips, bike trips, canoe trips, cultural cycling, etc. In the autumn we also organise mushroom and berry trips and in the winter we can be found in the snow. Our “office” is in nature by Lake Saimaa. Nature is Finland's largest outdoor place, open to all of us all year round. Nature produces strength and energy, as a result of which we bring well-being and open-mindedness to our own lives. In nature tourism, we implement a responsible and sustainable tourism service. We operate in an environmentally responsible manner and are aware of the effects of our own operations on the environment. We strive to manage the environmental impact and pass on awareness to others.
