Vuokatti Ski Resort has a year-round weekly programme of activities that range from guided  outdoor safaris to sightseeing tours around the area. Join a snowmobile or husky safari or try snowboarding, downhill or cross-country skiing, ice-fishing or snowshoe trekking. All ski equipment can be rented from the resort's own rental shop and a ski school operates on the slopes for the beginners. Children have their own playing area and safe ski slopes. A cafe serves snacks and hot drinks.  

In December, do not miss the wonderful Christmas Village near Kuhmo about 90km away. The magical tour led by one of Santa's Elves will take you to the Santa's cave of treasures, through the land of elves and finally to meet Santa Claus himself in his log cabin.    

Outside the ski season, the resort has good facilities for trekking, horse-riding, cycling, fishing, tennis and golf. Canoeing expeditions and safaris are organised during the summer months along the many rivers and wild river rapids that run through areas of beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife. If you fancy learning to sail, join the Sailing School, that operates during the summer months and organises courses for beginners as well as the more experienced sailors. 

Hiidenportti National Park nearby was created in 1982 to protect the unique wilderness in the area. Today the park offers an oasis of calm with beautiful scenery, particularly around the famous Hiidenportti Gorge where spectacular rock faces travel straight down for up to 20m. The park consists of thick pine woods, swamps and small lakes that provide suitable habitat for wildlife such as bears, lynxes, moose, beavers, wolves, wolverines, pine martens and numerous birds.

In summer, visit the ruins of Kajaani Castle, that was originally built in the early 1600's by the order of the King of Sweden Carl IX. The Castle today is the most northernmost castle in Finland, if not in the whole world.
