Nordic Walking

Poles Attract

Summer activities in Finland, nordic walking in Koli

If you arrive in Finland in the summer and wonder why everybody seems to be skiing in the absence of snow, rest assured: the poles that people are using are the basic equipment needed for the popular sport of Nordic Walking. This pursuit – essentially, walking with the assistance of two sticks instead of one – is medically established as an aerobically efficient form of exercise. It’s also a very democratic form of exercise: all you need are the poles and a path, and off you go. And it’s a great all-weather activity, too.

In Finland, the terrain lends itself perfectly to Nordic Walking. You can head off at your own pace through the extraordinary network of forest tracks on the edge of every Finnish town and city. Or if you fancy something a bit more strenuous, the fells of Lapland await.
