About This Adventure

Experience the enchanting winter landscape of Lapland on a two-hour snowshoeing adventure. Trek through pristine forests, listen to the crunch of snow, and marvel at the beauty of nature. Build a fire, learn about local wildlife, and capture stunning photographs while keeping an eye out for reindeer and other wildlife.

“The Laplanders hung the wings of a willow grouse over the crib of a baby girl so that the girl would grow up to be as pure as the white willow grouse on top of the snow.”

About

Snowshoeing is the closest way to experience the nature of Lapland. The deep snow crunching under the shoes, the snow-hooded trees, and the pearly-white willow grouse watching you from afar – the winter nature is a magical world of its own.

We hike through the forest in snowshoes to a nearby fell where we will build a fire, and enjoy the spectacular scenery. The guide will provide information on the nature and animals of Lapland, and with any luck we may see a Siberian jay, a willow grouse, or a herd of reindeer wandering by.

This trip is especially suitable for nature-lovers, who wish to take great photographs and enjoy the natural scenery in an ecological way.
