Hotels in Eastern Finland, Finland

Eastern Finland is a region of vast lakes and forests, stretching from the Russian border to the heart of the country. Winters are cold with heavy snow (averaging 14°F/-10°C), perfect for snowmobiling across Lake Saimaa or ice fishing on its frozen surface. Summers are mild (68°F/20°C), so you can hike in Koli National Park or take a steamship cruise from Savonlinna, home to the 15th-century Olavinlinna Castle and its annual opera festival in July.
