Sisu
(Finnish): ‘Extraordinary determination in the face of adversity.’
Sisu is an experiential intervention responding to the growing desire to be actively immersed in our local outdoors.
Statistics show a steep increase in outdoor pursuits since 2019, and in engagement with nature as a source of solace. For many, lack of exposure to nature and participation in physical activity presents a barrier. Sisu overcomes cultural, mental and physical barriers pushing visitors to their limits in an exhilarating yet safe environment, before they launch into the wilds of our local national parks.
Gökotta
(Swedish): ‘Early-morning cuckoo’.
Gökotta is a riverside capsule hotel accessible by water taxi from Sisu for travellers to recuperate after completing Sisu’s visitor experience. Gökotta provides a restful and restorative environment allowing for personal down-time, or, casual social interaction.
