Lapland resorts Levi, Rovaniemi, Ylläs-Kolari are noted to have the longest slopes. Fans of extreme sports from different countries of the world are attracted by the maximum differences of heights on the slopes of the hills of Himos and Jyväskylä.

Guests of Helsinki can order a wheeled bus sauna for recreation. This is a classic Finnish sauna, which has been furnished in a big bus. The latter did not lose its original purpose after modernization. The sauna can be ordered to any neighbourhood of the city and to the surrounding areas. Some tourists go by this bus to watch city sights.
The idea of creating 'sauna on wheels' belongs to a young designer Heikki Tolonen. He has been assisted by a team of talented young specialists. It is important to note that Tolonen is an experienced specialist in the design of different vehicles, so the sauna for him was not the first project of this kind.
