The resort is open all year round and, in the winter, guests can try cross-country skiing, sledging, snowshoeing and even ice swimming – a refreshing feeling guaranteed! The surroundings look so different at various times of the year, so it is definitely worth it to pay a visit in every season.

“We think relaxing and socialising are as important as training, so there are many opportunities to unwind with friends and family and enjoy the evening entertainment,” explains Björk. “There is also the opportunity to dance to live music every weekend. We believe that good entertainment provides a way to relax, and that’s a part of the package at Peurunka.”

There are also big events at Peurunka, like John Smith Rock Festival, voted Best Rock Festival in Finland in 2018, and Sauna Heating World Championships as part of the regional event Sauna Week. Both events are held in July. Other concerts and events are held at Peurunka Areena all year round. “Our corporate clients like to bring their staff or customers here for meetings, and often include some wellness activities in the day too. We can also arrange fairs and summits at our spacious event centre, Areena,” says Björk.
