Arctic Survival Experience

What to Expect:

Gain valuable skills and knowledge to survive in the extreme Arctic conditions on this hands-on survival tour. This adventure offers a deep dive into the techniques and equipment needed to thrive in the harsh winter environment of Lapland. Guided by experienced instructors, you’ll learn everything from building a traditional snow shelter to understanding how to stay warm, hydrated, and well-nourished in the wild.

The journey begins with a workshop on Arctic survival skills, where you’ll be introduced to essential equipment, clothing, and techniques for surviving in freezing temperatures. Following the theory session, you'll venture out into the wilderness on snowshoes, where your guide will teach you how to construct a quinzee, a traditional snow shelter. You’ll actively participate in building your shelter, gaining firsthand experience in this life-saving skill.

For those opting for the overnight stay, you'll sleep inside the quinzee you created, while your guide ensures your safety throughout the night. In the morning, enjoy a warm drink and nutritious breakfast to round off your experience.

Adventure and Flexibility:

This tour is suitable for all skill levels, from outdoor enthusiasts to beginners looking for an adventure outside their comfort zone. You can choose a day tour, where you’ll learn and build your shelter before returning to back to your hotel, or an overnight experience, which lets you spend a night inside your handmade quinzee under the Arctic sky.
