Welcome to Helsinki!

Hope your journey and check-in to the hotel has been smooth.  Find below some reminders for tomorrow's agenda. 
 

  • You have a free morning! We recommend a hearty breakfast 
  • Please meet in the hotel lobby at 1150AM to depart for the Nuuksio Forest Hike. This is a free icebreaker activity to meet and greet other students joining from WMBA, GMBA and FTMBA for the week. 
  • We will take a coach to the start of the hike and be provided with a light campfire meal before hiking for 1.5 hours. 
  • Our expected return to the hotel is at 1630 where you will have a 2-hour break before we re-group in the lobby to depart for dinner at 1830.
  • We will be walking 20 minutes to the dinner location. 

Sustainability Initiatives
Alongside the carbon offsetting opportunity on this trip, the main meals provided by Imperial (dinners, campfire lunch, some restaurants) will be serving vegetarian food.   

Where possible, pending good weather and a reasonable distance, we shall be walking to the company visits and venues. 

Please also remember to bring a reusable water bottle. The hotel tap water is safe to drink - the world's best tap water they proclaim! 

Additional student hosts 
We are still seeking additional student hosts, especially for Monday's talk with the Upright Project. Please use the form linked above to sign up for this.

Nuuksio Forest Hike (Total tour duration 4.5 hours)

Hike through the forest of Nuuksio National Park, a wilderness treasure outside Helsinki. Just 45 minutes outside of Helsinki, you’ll escape to a land of rugged hills, lush forests, and deep lakes carved by glaciers during the Ice Age. Join your nature guide for a hike through Nuuksio National Park’s mosaic of habitats.

Learn about the threatened and near-threatened animals and plants that call the park home, as you enjoy a hike along forest trails. Nuuksio National Park is known for its incredible trails, cross-country skiing, cycling, horseback riding, swimming, fishing, rock climbing, and foraging opportunities. Hike along a beautiful trail, hugging a crisp deep blue lake. Sit down for a relaxing open-fire snack with sausages and juice. Breathe in the fresh air and pause for a moment surrounded by nature’s serenity.
