In the evening you will meet your guide for a snow shoeing adventure in the Finnish winter wonderland, in search of the Northern Lights.

Strap on your snowshoes and  step into a pristine, snow-covered wonderland, where the only sounds are the crunch of fresh powder beneath your snowshoes in the silent darkness.

You take your first steps into the silent, untouched landscape, surrounded by towering snow-laden pines and rolling fells.

Your guide will leads you on a gentle yet thrilling route, navigating through winding forest trails and open tundra. Along the way, they will share fascinating stories about the local Sámi culture, the resilient Arctic wildlife, and the secrets of survival in this extreme yet beautiful environment.

If conditions are right, the northern sky erupts in a breathtaking display of the Aurora Borealis—dancing ribbons of green, purple, and blue that seem to whisper across the heavens. Standing there, snowshoes keeping you balanced on the soft powder, you feel a deep connection to nature and the wild Arctic spirit.

With hearts full and spirits lifted, you trek back to the lodge, glowing from both the exercise and the sheer exhilaration of your adventure. Whether it’s your first time snowshoeing or just your first time in the Arctic, this experience will leave you craving more snowy adventures.
