Lapland · HIKING & TREKKING
Good hiking & trekking tours fill up weeks ahead and the December ones go first. Below: the 11 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Snowshoe through Rovaniemi’s Arctic forest, cross a frozen lake, enjoy lookout views, and warm up with blueberry juice and gingerbread.
“Very fun activity! We had Ewa as our tour guide and she was very friendly. The snowshoes were easy to get used to but it is a bit of a workout using them! Overall it was great and it felt really cool to be walking over a frozen lake :)”
Trek Lapland’s snowy taiga by back-country ski, with a guide, warm gear, forest views, and a Finnish campfire snack.
“Maca was an excellent tour guide; very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! The ski trekking experience was not only fun but also educational. We learned a lot about the trekking techniques, the surrounding plants, and spotted plenty of animal footprints along the way, which made the tour even more enriching. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!”
Hike snowy Riisitunturi National Park from Rovaniemi with a photographer, campfire lunch, edited photos, and an intimate group of eight.
“The entire tour was wonderful to put it simply. Our guide, Valeriia, was super insightful, helpful and just an amazing person to have as our guide! Regarding the hike itself, it was extremely easy and had spectacular views at every corner. Though it was slightly cold, the views made it absolutely worth it. The food provided was also substantial, and there are very well composed photos that Valeriia sends to everyone after the tour. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect Riisitunturi Hike in winter. Other tours are larger and either don't give you enough time and food to explore the park, or are too large in size…”
Hike among Korouoma’s frozen waterfalls from Rovaniemi, with winter gear, private transport, a Finnish campfire lunch, and expert guidance.
“This hike was without doubt the highlight of what has been an extremely memorable visit to Rovaniemi. “King Arthur” was an exceptionally warm and knowledgeable tour guide and he made the day even better. The scenery on this tour is breathtaking. Highly recommend this hike to anyone visiting this region.”
Hike through Korouoma’s snowy forests to frozen waterfalls, then warm up with a Finnish barbecue, salmon soup, and blueberry tea.
“Amazing, unforgettable experience! We were a group of eight including four children of the ages of 4, 7, 10 and 12. It was astonishing! The kids had so much fun sliding down hills hiking down. Our guide Chris was so informative. He loves what he does and it shows. We loved every second of this tour. Thank you! We are not in the best shape and we did it! Take your time.”
Hike Korouoma Canyon’s frozen waterfalls from Rovaniemi, then warm up with a private teepee BBQ, snacks, guides, and hotel transfers.
“The tour and the tourguide were absolutely great. I had an amazing day.”
Hike frozen waterfalls and forest trails in Korouoma Canyon, then enjoy a Lapland barbecue with a small group and hotel pickup.
“Stunning sights not much wildlife due to the time of year, our guide Nil was very friendly and informative and we were all picked up and dropped off to our front doors which made the experience all the better.”
Hike Vikaköngäs near Rovaniemi through forests, rocky gorges, lakes, and a hanging bridge, with transport, a guide, and blueberry juice.
“paisagens lindas! O guia foi explicando as coisas pelo caminho e coko éramos brasileiros falou em português. Muito simpático, contou histórias sobre a cultura de portugal também.”
Hike Korouoma’s frozen waterfalls near Rovaniemi, enjoy a Lappish barbecue, and get a small-group outing with hotel pickup.
“After waiting an hour at the meeting spot, no one came. We had also failed to reach them through Viator. Luckily viator was responsive and told us that the trip appeared to have been cancelled. A little message informing us of this would have saved us precious holiday time, and allowed us to prepare an alternative plan for the day better.”
Snowshoe through Ylläsjärvi’s boreal forest, track animals, and warm up by a campfire with hot drinks and biscuits.
“The group was quite large with 20 people, even the guides said it was one of the biggest they had experienced. We were glad to be able to roam around freely. The guide was informative but did not wait to share the information until the group was complete so others might not have heard his stories. We enjoyed it but did consider it would have been perfectly fine to do without a guide.”
Snowshoe through Lapland’s dark winter forest, track grouse and reindeer, and hunt for Northern Lights with warm drinks and local guides.
“We had an amazing experience, no northern lights, but lots of snow and fun! :)”
Pick a fell, an animal, or something frozen.
