Full description

Discover the true Lapland nature by hiking through untouched snow blankets and under the trees covered in white. Snowshoeing, a traditional Lappish way of getting around, allows you to explore places inaccessible by foot during snowy time. After a 20-minute transfer out from the city, you’ll arrive in a wilderness area where it’s time to put on your snowshoes and follow our guide to the surrounding nature: Embrace the tranquility and peace of the arctic woods and breathe in the purest air in the world. At the stop, our guide will prepare a campfire picnic around which you’ll hear stories about Lapland

Antoine, our guide, did a great job! He helped us with everything and made sure we all felt good. We were hiking through the forest, swamps and a frozen lake/river. We were just 3 people which was awesome and therefore he also gave us the possibility to adjust the timetable (more hiking, less time for lunch). Thanks for the great job!
