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.

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.
