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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 112 reviews · 5.5 hours · from $187

Snowshoe across Lapland’s Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, warm up by a campfire, and enjoy lunch in Finland’s cleanest air.

“I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I was involved in a ski accident the day beforehand and tore my ACL, making it physically impossible for me to participate. I promptly notified the guide, provided a doctor’s note, and explained the situation in good faith. Despite clear medical documentation and circumstances entirely outside my control, I was denied any refund.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 91 reviews · 2 - 4 hours · from $88Best value

Snowshoe beyond marked trails in Urho Kekkonen National Park, with expert guidance, snowy forests, wildlife tracks, and hot berry juice.

“This walk was really enjoyable. The activity is not as exciting as the ones I have already tried (with snowmobiles), but it is very nice. I loved to see the park with all the trees covered in snow. It looks like a winter wonderland! I gave 4 stars and not 5 just because I think the price is a bit too high for what we did. It was just a walk of 1 hour and 30 minutes with snowshoes. Anyway, we liked the activity and would recommend it.”

In addition to an organized drive through the forest etc. we were given two occasions to "freestyle" on a large open space! Also you can switch drivers in the middle. We had reindeer stew as lunch and it was delicious! Nice break to rest a bit and warm up before completing rest of the journey. It was one of our favorite experiences in our trip to Rovaniemi!”
