During the Family Winter Week from February 15th to 22nd, 2025, families can enjoy guided activities at Kiilopää, exploring the fells and winter landscapes, and connecting with like-minded families. The week wouldn’t be complete without wonderful families, rosy cheeks, a dip in the stream, and joyful laugh!

On the Family Week at Suomen Latu Kiilopää, the whole family gets to experience winter hiking, skiing in the fells, and snowshoeing trips. The Moomin Ski School during the Family Week takes you off the maintained trails into the forest and introduces you to back country skiing.
