CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Due to the warm Gulf Stream, the climate in Finland is considerably milder than at the same latitudes in other parts of the world, and the climates in northern, eastern, southern and western Finland are slightly different from each other.
In the north and east, the winter is cold but dry, while the winter on the west and south coast is fairly mild.
Summer in the north is short and intensive. Summer in southern Finland starts in early June and ends in mid-September. It is warm, but not humid. However, you can experience "white nights" until mid-August, after which the days shorten rapidly.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
Some of our package tours include activities such as Husky dog sledding, snowmobiling, skiing and the like. In these cases, Viada Ltd. acts as an agent only for the activity providers, therefore, Viada Ltd. shall not be liable under any circumstances for injury, damage, loss or accident caused by participation in or in connection with such activities.
