What to expect

Put on your snowshoes and get ready for an unforgettable night walk into the wilderness! This tour will allow you to head into the Arctic nature and discover a bit more of the secrets of Lapland. With your professional guide, you will snowshoe through old forests, over frozen rivers or lakes, or to a hill-top. The tour is designed to get a good chance to observe the Northern Lights if they appear.
Your guide will choose a location that best fits the level and the needs of the group, but also that allows you to get a good chance to see Northern Lights if they appear. Refreshments and a typical Finnish campfire 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 using traditonal methods. No need for matches or a lighter, your guide will use a flint & steel and natural materials you can find in the nature that surrounds you (this can be done in conditions as cold as -30°C!). This break around the open fire will be also the perfect convivial moment for your guide to answer all your questions about Lapland and life in the Arctic.
On all our excursions, our groups are limited to 8 people maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!
