This snowshoeing adventure by night is a great tour for those of you who want to experience the Northern lights with an extra nature activity. The snowshoeing + auroras combo is also a nice alternative to our famous Northern Lights Photography Hunting Experience from Rovaniemi , especially when the weather conditions are less promising: in case of snowfalls, you still get a memorable adventure into arctic wilderness!

ABOUT AURORA : Please note that this is not a Northern Lights hunt insofar as the activity focuses on the snowshoeing part in the arctic nature within
one hour drive around Rovaniemi. The possibility to observe auroras is mostly dependent on good weather conditions. If the weather is promising in Rovaniemi, the snowshoeing adventure offers a good chance for aurora observation. If the weather is not promising in the Rovaniemi area, the chance to observe auroras is lower ; the activity will still take place to enjoy the snowshoeing adventure in nature. In this case, it is still possible to request an upgrade for a Northern Lights Photography Hunting (at extra cost) which usually travels much farther to find clear sky.

Meeting Time & Pick up : Note that the pick up time is for information purpose; thus, the exact pick up time will be communicated to you via email the day before the experience.

We offer free pick up and drop off services in a 8km range from the city center which includes for example Ounasvaara and Santa Claus Village. For ecological and logistical reasons, we may kindly ask you to walk directly to our office (Jaakonkatu 4-6, 96200 Rovaniemi) when your accommodation is located less than 500 meters from our Nordic Odyssey office in the city center. Airport transfers or transfers from more than 8km from the city center may be arranged upon request at extra cost.

Preparation before the tour: We recommend that you eat well before the experience, and dress properly according to the weather conditions. In case of any questions, you might find your answer in our FAQ (Click here).
