Summer
The best time to explore the pristine Karelian nature: stroll through taiga forests, admire the lakes, listen to the aromas and sounds of the surrounding world, relax, and recharge.
Kayaking and Boating
If you’re looking to immerse yourself in nature, we offer delightful excursions to the serene lakeside or the enchanting uninhabited islands nearby. Whether you prefer a guided transport to your destination or wish to explore at your own pace with a rented boat, we’re here to make your adventure unforgettable.

SUP Surfing
A unique form of meditative relaxation, perfect for a solitary rendezvous with the lake’s smooth surface and breathtaking views of the shore.

Berries and Mushrooms
The Zaonezhie forests are abundant with berries and mushrooms during the season. Here, you can find a wealth of wild strawberries, blueberries, lingonberries, cloudberries, cranberries, and raspberries. For those who enjoy "quiet hunting," we provide raincoats and baskets.

Eco Trails
Our team has crafted several routes through the taiga for an intimate connection with the northern nature. Along well-maintained paths, you can immerse yourself deep into the forest. Whether you embark on a leisurely stroll with no particular destination or enjoy the beauty of nature during a run, the experience is sure to be enriching.

Swimming in Lake Onega
The water in Onega remains cool even in July, but near the hotel, the shoreline is shallow, allowing it to warm up nicely during the height of the Karelia summer.

Springs and Sources
The area surrounding the hotel is rich with natural springs: the Salt Spring, Hanging Lakes, the "Three Ivans" spring, and the "Tsaritsa's Key." Accessing these spots without an off-road vehicle can be challenging, but we have them available for rent for your independent adventure, or you can join us on a journey through the wild.
