I have travelelled mountain and wildernes regions in quite many places, but Basecamp Oulanka offered something really extraordinary: wild and silent nature, very good guiding and happy huskies. Thank You!

I visited the basecamp with my school, and we did ice-climbing and trekking. I didn't stay nights there, so I can't give you guys a review about the beds available, but this is definitely a really good place to stay, because it offers a lot of different activities, such as ice-climbing, river drafting and trekking. It is right next to... More

Stayed here for a week in Feb 2013 on the Exodus Winter Wilderness trip. Clean comfy warm rooms, great food, amazing location, top activites and great guides. It is expensive and if on the exodus package be aware of the optional extras that cost a lot for the real fun stuff... but it is worth it!

I stayed at Basecamp Oulanka for one week as part of a group, in the most perfect winter wonderland surroundings. I cannot praise the team at Basecamp highly enough - they are all genuinely committed to providing an environmentally responsible (and super fun!) holiday. Eki in particular was a superb activity leader, with a huge knowledge of, and clear affection... More

Stayed in Basecamp for a week at the end of March as part of a group on an Exodus 'Winter Wilderness' week. Cannot say enough about the staff at Basecamp, especially Meiju who never failed to have a smile on her face throughout the week as she moved seamlessly between teaching all outdoor activities and then enacting multiple roles both...

We stayed for one week at Basecamp Oulanka, which is situated in the Oulanka National Park. They run outdoor activities such as snow shoeing, rafting, quinzee building etc etc. Basecamp is part of Pan Parks which means they have a code of conduct to follow and must be sustainable and green. All of the accommodation is wood cabins which are... More

We spent a week at Basecamp Oulanka in winter and loved the place. The place is basic but caters for your needs perfectly. The rooms are warm & cosy, plenty of hot water and very conveniently located for the river and the sauna. The food was excellent; a varied menu, interesting and tasty dishes and plenty of it to provide... More

I actually cried when we had to leave, one of the best holidays ever. Perfect location overlooking the frozen lake and on the edge of the national park. Eki, Teemu and all the team made us feel really welcome great chats over a 'bear beer' on an evening and the food was fabulous. Can't wait to go back soon!

I spent a winter week here in March, was a great experience, snow shoeing, husky sledding, cross country skiing, ice climbing and more. The staff were great - enthusiastic and keen to show off the site to its best. The cook was in hospital, so the other staff all chipped in for Oulanka's 'experimental kitchen' which 9 times out of...
