Why is Vierumäki the perfect destination for an active group of friends?
Vierumäki is located in the midst of Finland’s most beautiful lake scenery, only an hour’s drive from Helsinki. This makes it an easily accessible weekend destination, yet sufficiently far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The area is known for its diverse sporting opportunities, making it an ideal sports holiday destination for people of all fitness levels throughout the year.
Vierumäki’s special strength lies in its ability to offer activities for all fitness levels. Friend groups often have various preferences and fitness levels, and at Vierumäki, everyone can find suitable activities. The proximity to the sports institute, favored by professional athletes, ensures that the facilities are also suitable for more demanding fitness enthusiasts.
The area’s infrastructure is designed to serve groups like yours. Restaurants, cafés, and other services are within walking distance of each other, allowing for smooth transitions from one activity to another. At Vierumäki, you can enjoy outdoor exercise in the morning, relax in the sauna in the afternoon, and gather for a shared dinner at the end of the day.
Quality accommodation after an active day
After an athletic day, it’s important to get quality rest and enjoyable time together. Vierumäki’s accommodation options are specially designed for groups who value both togetherness and the opportunity for privacy. Villas and holiday homes offer spacious settings for groups of 4-12 friends who want to spend quality time together.
The amenities in Vierumäki’s villas are designed for an active lifestyle. Many properties have their own sauna where you can relax during your active holiday. The villas’ modern kitchens facilitate shared cooking experiences, and comfortable living areas provide settings for evening gatherings, games, and reminiscing. The number and arrangement of bedrooms ensure that everyone also gets the privacy they need.
Booking accommodation for a group is easy when planning begins early. Most friend groups book their accommodation 3-6 months in advance to secure their desired dates and location. Especially during summer and winter seasons, the most popular properties fill up quickly. For larger groups, it often makes sense to book several smaller adjacent villas, providing more common space while also ensuring privacy when needed.
Most popular group activities at Vierumäki during different seasons
Vierumäki offers diverse activities regardless of the season. In summer, the area is a golfer’s paradise with its numerous courses. Tennis, mountain biking, and canoeing are also popular summer activities. The lake provides opportunities for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing, while the surrounding forests invite hikers and wanderers.
In winter, Vierumäki transforms into a center for snow sports. Well-maintained cross-country skiing tracks, an ice skating rink, and snowshoeing opportunities offer varied activities. Nordic skating on the nearby lake is also an experience worth trying with friends. Many friend groups’ winter vacations include traditional ice swimming in connection with sauna.
Numerous indoor sports facilities are available year-round. The gym, indoor courts, bowling, and swimming pool offer alternatives regardless of weather. For many friend groups, these year-round activities are an important part of their vacation. We also recommend guided group classes for friend groups, offering fun shared activities and new experiences. From fitness boxing to yoga classes, there are plenty of options.
| Season | Most popular activities |
|---|---|

How to plan a successful sports holiday for a group of friends?
Planning a successful sports holiday begins well in advance. The first step is to agree on a date that suits everyone, which can be challenging among a group of friends. We recommend using an online calendar where everyone can mark dates that work for them. Once the date is confirmed, book your accommodation immediately to secure the best options.
Activity planning should be done according to the group’s preferences, but leave room for flexibility in the schedule. A good practice is to agree on one shared activity per day that everyone participates in, and leave the rest of the time for more flexible programming. This way, everyone can also choose additional activities that interest them. Booking popular guided sessions and equipment rentals in advance is important, especially during peak seasons.
Budgeting is an important part of planning. Agree in advance on how costs will be shared and where to invest common funds. Many friend groups have found an effective model where accommodation costs are split equally, but everyone pays for their own activities. For shared grocery shopping, it’s worth collecting a lump sum in advance to avoid constant calculations on site.

Memories and shared experiences – why sports holidays strengthen friendships?
Challenges, successes, and new experiences shared together create unique memories that strengthen friendships. A sports holiday offers the perfect combination of shared activities where you can both challenge yourself and support others. According to research, shared experiences are the most effective way to strengthen bonds between people.
Sauna evenings after sports are highlights for many friend groups. In the sauna, you review the day’s events, share successes, and laugh at mishaps. These moments will be remembered for years to come. Shared meals, whether a restaurant dinner or a self-prepared brunch, pace the vacation days and create important moments of pause.
Premium Resorts provides the perfect setting for creating these unforgettable memories. We combine quality accommodation, diverse activity opportunities, and beautiful nature into a comprehensive experience that will stay in your mind. We believe that at its best, a sports holiday in Finland is more than just exercise; it’s an experience that strengthens friendship and brings joy for a long time.
