WHO ARE WE

Boreal Wildlife Centre

The Boréal Wildlife Centre is a nature discovery centre run by a team of passionate naturalists of Finnish, French and Belgian origin.

Their combined expertise and enthusiasm for sharing their knowledge will enable you to explore the Finnish taiga in the best possible conditions.
The observation and photography sites are located in Viiksimo and Kuhmo. This unspoilt region offers an excellent opportunity to observe and photograph bears, wolverines and, occasionally, wolves.
Other animals, such as grouse and forest passerines, are abundant in the vicinity of the lodge.

THE ENVIRONEMMENT

The taïga

Our inn is situated in the heart of the vast boreal forest, dominated by conifers (Scots pines and spruces) as well as birches and aspens. The landscape is dotted with peat bogs, lakes and rivers, allowing a rich biodiversity to flourish.

Thousands of migratory birds come to breed in the vicinity of the inn, including swans, waders and numerous passerines from Africa.
