Winter Fun for Everyone at Kotatieva
A winter day at Kotatieva is filled with joyful activities for all ages — from traditional Finnish pastimes to playful snowy adventures in the heart of Lapland.
One of the highlights is the carousel sled, or hoijakka as it’s called in Finnish. This cherished tradition of northern winters combines togetherness, laughter, and exhilarating fun. At Kotatieva, you can enjoy this nostalgic ride as many times as you like — it’s always included in your day ticket.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Ice bowling is another unique experience waiting for you — try your skills on natural ice and challenge your family or friends for a playful competition. Or grab a pair of snowshoes and try snowshoe frisbee golf, a quirky winter version of the summer favorite, where you move through snowy trails aiming for the basket.
When you feel like slowing down, gather around one of our cozy campfire spots and enjoy grilling sausages over an open fire — a true Finnish tradition that warms both body and soul. For the youngest visitors (and the young at heart), there’s nothing better than simply playing in the snow — building snowmen, making snow angels, and letting your creativity run wild in the sparkling white landscape.
All activities are included in your day ticket — no need to rent or book anything separately. You are free to enjoy them at your own pace, as many times as you like, throughout your visit.
Whether you are looking for an active day outdoors, peaceful moments by the fire, or just playful fun in the snow, Kotatieva has it all. Combine the activities as you wish and create your perfect winter day.
Our friendly staff is always on hand to assist, guide, and ensure that everyone is having a safe and joyful experience. Whenever you need a break, step into our warm and welcoming café for hot drinks, fresh pastries, and homemade treats.
