In the 50s, the cooperation between Moomin and Suomen Latu – The Outdoor Association of Finland started. The relationship with nature was important for Tove Jansson, which was one reason for the cooperation. In 1957, children’s ski school activities at Suomen Latu began, and Tove designed the diplomas and ski patches for the participants. Moomintroll on skis was also on the cover of the teacher’s manual in 1968.
Currently, Suomen Latu organizes Moomin outdoor activities where children can familiarize themselves with skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and experiencing the wonderful nature in Finland.
In 2017, Suomen Latu and Moomins celebrated their 60th anniversary with a book series created with Finnish publisher Tammi.
