Koli enchants in all seasons
Koli is one of the few places in Finland where people come for the place itself, not just for a holiday. The verdant ancient forests of Koli National Park and the iconic great lake Pielinen, our national landscape, have attracted artists, hikers and seekers of genuine connection with nature for over a hundred years.
At the top of Ukko-Koli (347 meters above sea level), the majestic Koli national landscape makes an impression in all seasons. It is a landscape that Eero Järnefelt and Jean Sibelius immortalized as part of Finnish cultural heritage. Today, Koli captivates filmmakers, photographers and travelers seeking authentic Finnish forest experiences from across the country and around the world. The same impressive nature and our unchanged national landscape welcomes visitors to Koli to this day.
In nature through all seasons
The views from the peaks of Ukko-Koli, Akka-Koli and Paha-Koli are among Finland's most photographed, and that's no coincidence. The national park trails take you to the landscapes with ease. The Peak Circuit (1.4 km) is suitable for everyone, and longer hiking trails leading into the depths of Koli's forests are for the more experienced.
Being and moving in nature has been proven to slow the heart rate and calm the mind. At Koli, these restorative effects are amplified thanks to the unique environment. The national park's hill forests, the panorama opening from the top of Ukko-Koli, and the presence of the shimmering Pielinen can be seen and felt everywhere in all seasons. Together they create a forest experience that a city holiday cannot offer.
It's an experience to spend the night embraced by the forest
Spending the night at the top of Koli is a memorable experience. Break Sokos Hotel Koli is like a crown on top of Ukko-Koli, offering breathtaking views of the national park and Pielinen. You'll find genuine local warmth in the heart of Koli village when you choose Break Sokos Hotel Koli Kylä as your accommodation. From both hotels, you can easily access the landscapes and hiking trails, as well as ski tracks and ski slopes in winter.
Welcome to experience a piece of the most beautiful Finland!
