Punkaharju invites travelers to take a holiday in a unique national landscape with plenty of outdoor activities every season. In winter all you have to do is step outside to go ice skating or skiing. When the lakes are not frozen, make the most of the clear waters and let the beautiful nature fortify you. Spend an active holiday exploring the beautiful nature of Lake Saimaa or enjoy a relaxing stay in a traditional Finnish cottage, not forgetting the area’s top-rate cultural activities including the national forest museum, water park Kesämaa and Art manor Johanna Oras.
