❄ Cold Facts About Winter Camping
I do my best to provide a comfortable but real winter camping experience, though there are some things in Finland’s winter that are impossible to change. Here are things you should be aware of when you’re thinking about doing this tour.
Typical winter season weather in Nuuksio National Park is from around −5 C to −15 C, sometimes gets up to 0 C and down to −20 C. Amount of snow varies every year and from early to late winter, but it’s typically from few centimeters to half a meter.
Camping in a hot tent is a lot warmer than being outside, but it’s not as warm as staying in a cabin. This is still real camping.
You’ll be warm when hiking and inside the tent when the wood burning stove is running. Standing still outside is going to be cold.
Moments when cold can creep up on you are when having a break, doing things with bare hands, setting up the tent, sitting by a campfire, taking down the tent, and going to the toilet.
National park’s toilets are cold outhouses.
We share one large tent. We are not packed in like sardines, there’s plenty of space, but it’s different compared to my summer camping tours where everyone can have their own tents.
You can borrow outdoor clothing but if you have winter clothing you’ve used before for example for skiing, it’s good idea to bring your own and borrow what extra you need from me.
We can do the tour with snowshoes when snow conditions are suitable.
