Timelessness calls to Valamo

Valamo hosts concerts and other cultural events throughout the year. Learn about events and current opening hours here.

Peaceful sleep awaits in the asceticism of the guesthouses, the tranquil monastery hotel, or the academy hotel. In winter, accommodation is more affordable than during the summer season. All room rates include a buffet breakfast.

Valamo Academy also operates within the monastery environment; an open meeting place for education, culture, and growth for everyone. Studying within the monastery offers a unique peace for work, complemented by the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding nature.

In Valamo, you can also participate in daily services if you wish. Services are open to everyone. You can also come to the church just for a moment to pray, both during services and during other church opening hours.

Easter, or the Feast of the Resurrection of Christ, is the main feast of the Orthodox ecclesiastical year, the feast of feasts. During Easter, accommodation is sold as full-board packages, the prices of which include accommodation, meals, and other program related to the festivities.

Price information and program will be updated later.

The monastery's 260-seat café-restaurant Trapesa is one of the most important meeting places in the monastery. The restaurant offers daily meals buffet-style, like home cooking. In addition, coffee, tea, and small snacks are available all day. The monastery's monk coffees are already a concept. In July, the Valamo Tea Table complements the atmosphere.
