Hotel Oravi - Apartments

My wife & I visited Saimaa in February and were blown away by both the beautiful landscape & warm, friendly people. Neither of us had any previous experience cross country skiing or Nordic tour skating, but had a great time learning both in the peaceful surroundings of Linnansaari Park. The team at SaimaaHoliday Oravi kitted us out & provided excellent instruction to get us on our way. We were well taken care of at the end of each day on the ice as well, with delicious drinks & dinner at the local park restaurant (a 2 minute walk from the hotel apartments). All the food was fresh, local cuisine & everything was absolutely delicious. Private access to the on-site sauna in the evening was an extra treat as well. The best part of the experience was definitely the Saimaa Holidays team though. Marie & team went out of their way to make us feel warm & welcome every step of the way, and we quickly felt incredibly relaxed & at home. We were both very sad to leave after our 5-day weekend stay, and can't wait for a return trip. Thanks Marie & all!
