Before you go
Stay on the shore: the lake ice is not marked or checked. Cabins line the shore, so keep to the beach and keep noise down.
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Finland before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
