Pentik Culture Centre
Pentik-mäki Culture Centre is the most popular attraction in Posio: they sell quality ceramics made in Posio and candles handmade in Posio. If you are missing a piece from your old Pentik set, take a visit to their vintage ceramics shop. Collecting Pentik tableware is an integral part of Finnish culture, and what would be more sustainable than ceramics that lasts for generations.

Posio Outdoors
Posio Outdoors offers unforgettable fishing experiences for travelers at the lakes of Posio. You can’t find a better guide than Timo; after all, Posio is his last name. Timo also brings the pikes to the table at Restaurant Tapio. “Amazing landscapes, honest fishing” is how Timo describes his business.
Kota-Husky
One way to enjoy the snowy tree giants at Riisitunturi National Park is husky sledding. Kota-Husky’s Siberian and Alaskan huskies will not only guide you through the winter wonderland – they have an endless supply of tenderness.
Each dog is an individual with his or her own free days and other routines. The journey starts from the owner’s home yard, which is also where the dogs live. When you arrive, the first thing you will see is the already retired huskies running freely around the yard.
Oiva Tour
Another way to embrace local nature is to spend a night in the forest or catch some pikes with Oiva Tour. The fish from Oiva’s nets end up at Holiday Village Himmerki , and travelers get a chance to learn how to prepare the fish for cooking. Visiting Oiva and his wife, Marketta’s home opens up to the true Lapland way of life – living in harmony with our four seasons.
