About Nuviaslidearen
Our story, our passion, and why Finnish nature matters to us.
Our Story
Nuviaslidearen was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves access to the beauty of Finnish nature. We started as a small passion project in 2022, mapping the best public parks in Helsinki, Espoo, and Turku.
What began as a personal hiking journal quickly grew into a community of nature lovers who wanted reliable, beautiful, and honest guides to Finland's outdoor spaces. Today, Nuviaslidearen is the go-to platform for discovering parks across Finland.
We believe that nature should not be a luxury. In Finland, it isn't — with everyman's rights (jokamiehenoikeus), the forests, lakes, and parks belong to everyone. Our mission is to help you find, explore, and fall in love with these spaces.
What We Stand For
Our core values guide everything we do at Nuviaslidearen.
Sustainability

Accessibility
Nature is for everyone. We provide information about accessibility, difficulty levels, and family-friendly options.
Authenticity
Every park we feature has been personally visited. Our recommendations come from real experiences, not algorithms.
Passion
We genuinely love Finnish nature. It's not just a business — it's our way of life and we want to share that with you.
Finnish Outdoor Culture
Finland has a deep and enduring relationship with nature. The concept of "jokamiehenoikeus" — everyman's rights — allows everyone to roam freely in nature, pick berries and mushrooms, and enjoy the outdoors regardless of who owns the land.
This philosophy is at the heart of Finnish identity. From the ancient forests of Lapland to the archipelago of Turku, Finns understand that well-being and nature are inseparable. At Nuviaslidearen, we celebrate this culture and invite the world to experience it.
