SAIMAA LIFE & LIGHT
SEASONS
Winter
In winter, all fans of winter, true Finnish sports gather here.We regularly hold our own hockey camps "Hockey Is My Life", as well as the Finnish Championships in cross-country skiing and biathlon.

Around the village at arm's length are high-class well-groomed multi-kilometer ski trails with a new stadium for biathlon, which even in a snowless winter are working at full capacity.
Within walking distance from us is an indoor ice arena, where you can always play hockey,Curling or just skate, and when lake Saimaa freezes, you can also cut across the surface of the lake on skates for many kilometers. For fans of Alpine skiing, a lighted slope with several blue and red trails is located 15 minutes from Imatra.

And of course, after an active day in the fresh frosty air, it is impossible to pass by the fragrant Finnish sauna, which you will find in your cozy apartment in Saimaa life.
Spring
In the spring, when the snow melts in Finland and the nature revives after hibernation, Saimaa Life & Light continues to have a great time during hikes and outdoor activities. The newly built professional ski runs passing our cottages are maintained in a “snowy” state until April. When temperatures rise, they turn into a variety of tracking routes for Nordic walking or running.
What could be better than an active bike ride along a picturesque lake? In our hotel you can rent bicycles, fat bikes and scooters. Be sure to check out the SPA complexes and water park of the Imatran Kylpylä and Holiday Club, where you can have fun with your family.
Summer
In June, the bathing season begins in Saimaa. You can sunbathe on a sandy beach and swim in the purest cool water of the Saimaa lake, after a 10-minute walk from the house through the forest. In addition to taking a basket for mushrooms and berries picking, bring frisbee with you and practice at one of Finns' favourite activities. And if you are a fan of golf, then a five-minute drive from the hotel you will find a spacious Golf Club Holiday Club.
The lovers of water sports you can wakeboard, canoe or try floating. And what summer vacation in Finland would be complete without fishing and boat trips? In the evening, you can relax in your own sauna located in the apartment and later look at the stars while cooking barbecue. And if you cannot sit still, then go to Imatra to watch one of the most amazing colourful music shows on the famous rapids of Imatrankoski during the descent of cascades of water from the reservoir.
Autumn
Celebrating the coming of autumn in all its abundance of its colours and aromas is best in the Finnish forest, sitting at the fireplace with hot mulled wine. If you have a car, be sure to go to Laappeenranta or look at the mysterious huge rock-stone in the middle of the forest. Take a walk along the streets of Imatra. For children, within walking distance, the Atreenalin open-air rope adventure park and the Angry Birds indoor amusement park are open.
Be sure to go berry and mushroom picking. For outdoor enthusiasts, we recommend playing football in a stadium near the village. There are also indoor courts and football fields enclosed close to the hotel. There is an ice arena, which awaits for the hockey and figure skating fans. In autumn, the best way to relieve stress is to try floating — drift in a waterproof warm suit and enjoy the beauty of Saimaa.
