Bicycles

At ONNI Village, guests can enjoy free use of bicycles to explore the surroundings at a comfortable and relaxed pace. Cycling is perfect for both short trips along the forest paths near the cottages and longer routes — for example, to the hunting lodge or Huuhanranta beach.

The area offers quiet forest trails, scenic views, and minimal car traffic, making your ride safe and enjoyable. For families with small children, child bike seats are available, allowing the whole family to head out on an adventure together.

For those seeking more active recreation, a cycling tour of the Saimaa region is a fantastic addition to your cottage stay. These routes pass through some of Finland’s most picturesque lakeside landscapes. With trails of varying lengths, the area caters to both experienced cyclists and hobbyists, with some paths running along the Vuoksi River and the famous Saimaa Canal. It is a wonderful opportunity to combine a comfortable cottage stay with cycling journeys through Finnish nature.

Guest Impressions: Cycling

Stunning accommodation in a little piece of Finnish paradise

Wow! Onni Village is a little paradise in the middle of a stunning area of Finland. The accommodation is of a very high standard (better even than in the photos), and each lodge (there are 7 on the site) have huge floor to ceiling windows that down the side facing lake Saimaa. The place was spotless and so well equipped, with great touches like a sauna, free fire wood, life jackets, free use of a rowing boat and a great children’s playground with trampoline and zipwire. The host was really excellent and nothing was too much trouble. You can also hire motors for the boat, paddleboards and skis. There are bikes free to use (although only a couple of small helmets) on site and once back on the proper road (Onni Village is 3.8Km down a good forest track) you can travel easily for miles. The nearest shop is in Utula (15 mins drive) and is small, but very well stocked. Huuhanranta beach is stunning and an easy cycle away (the beach is sand and the water is very shallow, so is very safe for children). Don’t be put off by the distance from Helsinki. It is a VERY easy 4 hour drive along very quiet motorways and other roads from Helsinki airport and once there, you can relax and enjoy the beauty of this unspoilt area.
