Lapland is the world’s largest contiguous area for picking organic berries and mushrooms.
Wild berries and mushrooms can be freely picked in Finland’s forests under everyman’s right, but be careful which varieties you pick, as some berries and fungi are poisonous. But no worries, your experienced nature guide will help you determine eatable options. Besides being an adventure for the senses, a hike through the varied terrain amidst unspoiled nature is also the best possible exercise. The berries nurtured by the midnight sun are also healthy, and can be eaten just as they are when you find them.
We take a ride to secret berries’ & mushrooms’ place to be ready to pick up these healthy gifts of nature. During our walk we fill up our baskets and of course taste some berries. We will have a break and taste some local snacks with coffee and juice. Trip is suitable also for families with children.
The best picking season for most mushrooms and berries runs from late July to early October.
Please note the tour operates in ALL weather conditions.
