Kicksledding in Estonia on Otepää Lake Pühajärv or snowy forest roads
A Finnish sledge hike is perfect for enjoying the outdoors during the colder winter months. Basic kicksledding is easy to learn. Just stand with one foot on the runner, hold on to the handlebar, and kick with your free foot.
The Finnish sled has gone through a great transformation and looks sleek and modern. We use new Finnish sleds on light aluminum frames for an even better experience. We’ll be sledding along snowy nature trails, hiking paths, or even across frozen lakes.
If Lake Pühajärv is properly frozen and the weather allows, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to sledge between its islands — familiar to you from your canoeing trip.
Finnish sledge hikes are for everyone, regardless of fitness level. No physical preparation or prior experience is required!

Guided smoke sauna ritual
A sauna ritual in Wiire’s smoke sauna is a sensual, deeply touching experience that takes you out of your everyday life and brings you back to your centre. This facilitated journey is led by a sauna woman – a space creator, storyteller and spiritual healer in whose caring hands the sauna becomes a sacred place. The ritual follows the stages that have evolved over time, inspired by nature and folklore: welcoming, cleansing, healing and giving thanks. At each step, one moves deeper into relaxation and connection with oneself. The sauna uses only natural ingredients – salt, ash, honey, herbs and various incense to invigorate the body, revitalise the senses and soothe the soul. The sauna ritual progresses from a peaceful introduction through an intense middle section to a quiet and grateful end. Each participant’s experience is personal and unique – created in the moment, in the space and with themselves.
Possible to stay overnight.
