Berry & Mushroom Picking Tour 2025 – A Journey into Lapland’s Nature

Berry and mushroom picking is a central part of Finnish culture, especially in northern Lapland. It is part of Finland’s "Right of Access" or "Everyman’s Right," allowing everyone to pick natural resources responsibly.

Hotel Korpikartano’s guided berry & mushroom picking tour is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the superfoods of the forest. The picking season begins in mid-July with cloudberries and continues until the first night frost. In the area around Hotel Korpikartano and Inari, you can find cloudberries, blueberries, lingonberries, porcini mushrooms, and even matsutake mushrooms. Each month brings new delights from the forest.

On the tour, you’ll head into the nearby forest with a professional guide. The guide will share information about the surrounding nature and point out what berries and mushrooms can be safely picked. You will also learn about Finland’s "Right of Access" and how to responsibly forage in the wild.

After gathering your own food, you’ll return to Hotel Korpikartano to prepare lunch by the open fire with your guide. Korpikartano’s pristine nature ensures that the berries and mushrooms are safe and full of vital vitamins, flavonoids, fibers, and antioxidants. Enjoy a meal in a cozy Lappish hut, where you can ask your guide more questions about the nature, berries, and mushrooms around you.

Come and experience the tranquility and richness of Lapland’s nature!
