Clean, locally produced and healthy food is an important part of the holiday experience

With just a few tasty ingredients gathered from the pristine Finnish nature, you can transform yourself into a new person during your holiday. You can enjoy wild food in the restaurants of Posio or prepare it yourself in your rental cottage.

In the late summer and early autumn the berries start to ripen. You can find a catch of cloudberries, blueberries, lingonberries, raspberries and cranberries in the forests and mires of Posio. Also mushrooms are plentiful in the autumn, but remember to only gather the ones you recognize! Everyman’s right in the Finnish forests guarantee that you are allowed to pick almost anything your heart and mouth desires.
