Snowshoeing in Lapland

What to Expect:

Step into the pristine beauty of Lapland's snowy wilderness on a snowshoeing adventure. This traditional yet easy-to-enjoy winter activity allows you to explore the untouched landscapes of the Arctic, from tranquil forests to breathtaking fells. Snowshoeing is ideal for those looking to experience the silence and serenity of nature while enjoying light exercise in the crisp winter air. No prior experience is needed, making it suitable for beginners and experienced hikers alike.

Snowshoeing offers a unique way to explore deep snow that would otherwise be difficult to navigate on foot. With your guide, you’ll walk through the snowy terrain, learning about the surrounding nature, wildlife, and even Lappish traditions. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to take photos of the stunning winter scenery, from snow-covered trees to panoramic views of national parks.

On some tours, you’ll enjoy a break around a campfire, where you can warm up with refreshments and snacks. Your guide may also demonstrate traditional fire-starting techniques using flint and natural materials from the forest. For those looking for a more immersive experience, some tours include chairlift rides to higher viewpoints or longer hikes that offer even more dramatic scenery.

Adventure and Flexibility:

Snowshoeing is a low-impact activity that suits a range of fitness levels. Whether you’re looking for a short, scenic walk or a more challenging hike through the wilderness, snowshoeing tours can be tailored to match your preferences and abilities. Some tours may take you deep into Arctic nature to search for wildlife tracks, while others focus on the breathtaking landscapes and photo opportunities.

Group sizes are kept small to ensure a personalized experience, allowing your guide to cater to the needs and interests of each participant. This way, you can fully appreciate the peacefulness and beauty of the surrounding nature without feeling rushed.
