Snowshoeing in the Arctic Circle Wilderness
About
Discover true Lapland nature by hiking through untouched blankets of snow and through snow covered forests. 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 into 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.
