What you'll do

Explore the Arctic wilderness on snowshoes to feel the white silence of nature that surrounds you. This tour offers a perfect excursion for nature-lovers and all those who are looking for a peaceful walk far away from their daily reality.

Put on your snowshoes and get ready for a relaxing walk into the wilderness! This tour will allows to head deep into the Arctic nature and discover a bit more of the secrets of Lapland. With your professional guide, you will snowshoe through old forests, along frozen rivers or lakes, or up to a hilltop, looking for wildlife and steps left in the snow. You may have the chance of passing tracks made by wolves, lynx, wolverines, moose, reindeer, weasles, and Arctic hares.

The tour will be adapted to the level of the group so that it is suitable for everyone, from the very beginners to the good hikers. As you will explore the white scenery, you will certainly feel the peaceful harmony of Lapland. Your guide will always keep an eye out for wildlife and flora, and will teach you more about nature and your surroundings.

Refreshments and a typical Finnish barbecue snack will be provided halfway, as your guide will lit a fire to keep you warm. This is a great opportunity for your guide to show you how to build a fire as natives do. No need for matches or lighter, your guide will use a flint & steel and natural materials that you can find in the nature that surrounds you! This break around the open fire will be also the perfect moment for your guide to answer all your questions about Lapland and life in the Arctic.

After serving in the Royal Marine Commando's for 5 years and working as a professional sailing & outdoor instructor, I was looking for a place to fulfill my vision and dreams. I found it here in the Finnish Lapland, where I can share the natural phenomena, opportunities, and beauty this amazing place has to offer. Lapland is also a great place for me to raise my family. Local nature connects people as you can share beautiful moments with strangers in very peaceful environments. Winters here are long, and without doubt this is the hardest job I have ever done. But I love it and I can promise the warmest of welcomes and an amazing time!
