Your winter adventure starts here!
Alternative for Finnish Lapland next to Helsinki
At winter there is a lot to do at Hawkhill. You can go slide down Hawkhill on a sled, play in the snow or go for a swim in the icy lake! We have ice swimming possibility from the private pier of four of our villas: Villa Taavetti, Villa Maria, Villa Juhani and Villa Armas.
We can arrange you with variety of guided activities during the winter from snowshoeing to ice sculpting classes.
Please note that the activities are only available for guests that are staying in our villas and for companies organising their company events or wellbeing days at our premises.
Winter wonderland beside Helsinki
Even though winter is not always that white in Helsinki, there’s often plenty of snow at Hawkhill. We get just a bit more snow and its colder so usually our guests are surprised when they arrive! We are perfectly located only 45min from Helsinki Airport and midtown Helsinki.

Ice sculpting class
The ice-sculpting class takes place on your cottages yard. An ice-sculpting professional will teach you the basic tools and techniques of ice-sculpting. You are then divided into small groups and you will get to sculpt the figures of your choosing. This might sound hard, but the results are impressive even for beginners as seen in the picture!
