Lake Saimaa

Europe's largest lake labyrinth — the Saimaa ringed seal's home.

— Journey —

Jet to Savonlinna · 1 h

Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland and the fourth-largest in Europe, is a labyrinth of forested islands, channels and bays stretching across the eastern lake district — home to the critically endangered Saimaa ringed seal, found nowhere else on earth. FFGR Finland coordinates lakeside villa and manor stays, private steamer cruises through the Linnansaari and Kolovesi national parks, and visits to the medieval Olavinlinna castle at Savonlinna, where the celebrated Opera Festival fills the courtyard each July. Reached by FFGR Jets to Savonlinna or Lappeenranta, the Saimaa region offers the quintessential Finnish summer — smoke saunas at the water's edge, kayaks at dawn, and the long northern dusk that never quite becomes night.
