About this activity

Explore Finland's Arctic wilderness on snowshoes with a professional guide who teaches you survival skills and traditional fire-making techniques using only natural materials. This 3.5-hour immersive experience takes you deep into old-growth forests and along frozen rivers in search of wildlife tracks and pristine winter landscapes.

Your experience begins with a pickup from your selected location in Rovaniemi. Meet your friendly guide and embark on a journey that you will remember forever!

Once you've reached the perfect spot, put on your snowshoes and get ready for a relaxing experience into the wilderness! This tour allows you to really feel what it is to head deep into the Arctic nature. With your professional guide, you will snowshoe through old forests and along frozen rivers, looking for wildlife and steps left in the snow. 

During this tour, you will not only learn how to walk on snowshoes but also some basic survival and fire making skills! No need of matches or lighter, your tour guide will chop wood and show you how to make fire with natural materials found in the nature that surrounds you (this can be done in conditions as cold as -30C !). 

This tour is perfect for nature-lovers and all those who are looking for a relaxing walk. It is also a great opportunity for those of you who are photo enthusiasts, so please bring your cameras along! What do you think?

Please note: This tour includes hotel pick up and drop off service. You can select your hotel from the list or select the "I'll type the address (next step)" message and write the name and address of your hotel in the relevant field during the booking process.

Please note: If you don't want to be picked up, you can meet us at Wild about Lapland, Kansankatu 14, Rovaniemi, 96100 at least 10 minutes prior to the departure time.
