Layer for changing conditions
Temperatures can swing; base layers, an insulating mid-layer and a waterproof outer shell keep you comfortable during snowshoeing and cabin breaks.
Wear sturdy, insulated boots
Waterproof winter boots with good tread are crucial—snowshoes fit over them and the terrain can be slick.
Follow animal etiquette
Let the guide handle feeding; approach reindeer calmly and avoid loud noises to prevent stressing the animals.
