Summer in complete freedom
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the lake and its surroundings: swimming, canoeing, kayaking, pedal boating, paddleboarding, electric rowboats, water skiing, and wakeboarding. A hammock area near the dock is a great place to relax between activities. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the surrounding trails, participate in orienteering races, or go for a bike ride to discover the nearby forest.

A Winter Full of Adventure
As soon as the first snow falls, the inn transforms into a winter retreat. Snowmobiling, dog sledding, ice fishing, sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and outings with a trapper are available on-site or nearby. Some activities require a reservation, such as a ride with a musher or a visit to a trapper’s cabin, followed by a hike to track animal tracks. Equipment and guidance are available to ensure a safe and memorable experience.
