Lapland · SNOWSHOEING ADVENTURES
Snowshoes get you off the trail and into forest nobody has walked since the last fall. The 15 below compare distance, how much climbing is involved and which ones end at a fire, each with its price.
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 :)”
Snowshoe across a frozen lake near Rovaniemi, drill an ice-fishing hole, build a fire, and warm up with Finnish snacks in a small group.
“small group. we were a total of 6. Luca was a great guide. definitely the company to book with. Wild about Lapland”
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. While I understand that businesses have policies, a complete lack of flexibility in the face of a serious injury — especially when proof was provided — reflects very poor customer service. A more reasonable and humane approach could have been taken. I would caution future customers that if an unexpected…”
Snowshoe through Lapland forests, frozen lakes, and swamps with winter gear, fire skills, a campfire snack, and a small English-speaking group.
“We have had a very nice walk with our guide Emily. We had a small group so that makes it more easy to ask questions and let Emily tell her story about the place we where. We loved it and can defintely recommend this tour!”
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.”
Snowshoe through Levi’s Arctic wilderness, learn nature photography, and warm up with campfire snacks and drinks on this small-group tour.
“Esperienza bellissima. Nicola è stato una guida perfetta, gentile, simpatico, preparatissimo. Consigliatissimo.”
Review of Levi’s two-hour snowshoe trip, with forest scenery, hot drinks, winter clothing, guide tips, pricing, and honest value advice.
“C'était assez cool, mais le rapport qualité - prix est franchement mauvais. L'activité était assez ennuyeuse, il n'y avait pas grand chose à observer ni à faire... Mais c'était tout de même une chouette expérience.”
Feed reindeer, snowshoe across a frozen lake, and warm up in a family cabin on this intimate wilderness tour near Levi.
“If you want a real life authentic Finnish experience then this is for you. Me and my husband absolutely loved this trip. Our guide Sari couldn’t do enough for us. The reindeer experience on a working farm was really good and the snow shoeing even better. It felt like Heli had taken us into her home as an old friend. We cooked sausages over an open fire, with homemade cakes provided afterwards which were delicious. At the end, we had a bonus ride on a snowmobile over the frozen lake which gave spectacular views. Thank you so much for this, to anyone wanting an authentic experience in Lapland or snowshoeing,…”
Snowshoe through Lapland’s dark forests, warm by a Finnish fire, and watch for Northern Lights on this small-group Rovaniemi tour.
“Belle activité. Ciel magnifique. Guide génial. Bémol, l'activité raquette est un peu courte et assez simple : balade dans une forêt à peine 1h. Le temps de trajet vers le lieu d'activité est de 35'. Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
Snowshoe through Lapland near Rovaniemi, learn about Arctic nature, and warm up with a hot drink on this gentle two-hour walk.
“A különböző programok résztvevőit közös busszal vitték a belvárosi találkozóhelyről Apukkaba. A csoportokat utána itt osztották szét. Egy rövid útmutatás után indultunk a kb. 2,5 km-es sétára a fagyott távon és erdőben. A túravezetők nagyon tájékozottak és kedvesek voltak. Sokat magyaráztak a természetről, növényekről, állatokról és az ökoszisztémáról, amit nagyon hasznosnak találtunk. A túra számunkra egyáltalán nem volt megterhelő, én személy szerint inkább fáztam, mintsem kimelegedtem. Ízelítőnek azonban kiváló volt. Egyetlen negatívumként említhető, hogy először csak egy kis buszt küldtek, amire nem fért fel mindenki, így aki lemaradt még várnia kellett. Mi szerencsére felfértünk az első...”
Combine snowshoeing and ice fishing near Rovaniemi with hot drinks, grilled sausages, fire-making, winter gear, and round-trip transport.
“Definitely a very unique experience but probably more like once in a life time event. Given we came in April, tourist season was almost over. Because of that, the guide said the private park the company normally rents is no longer available so we went to a public park with no indoor facility to warm up, which is probably the key factor in giving this less and a 5 star. While small group tours are generally nice, being alone for this tour was a bit lonely. Snow shoe was really interesting. Even with the snow shoe we sometimes sunk knee deep but without we would probably be waist deep. You…”
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 Saariselkä’s quiet winter night, learn the basics, sip hot chocolate, and watch for northern lights with Safartica.
“It was an exciting experience. Unfortunately because of clouds we couldn't see the northern lights, nevertheless the tour was absolutely great.”
Snowshoe across Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park from Levi, then enjoy grilled sausages, coffee, and a campfire lunch in Lapland.
“Super balade dans un super endroit.Nos deux guides étaient très a l écoute des attentes et des difficultés de chacun. Le repas au coin du feu était juste parfait”
Snowshoe through ancient Lapland woods with biologists Terhi and Arto, track wildlife, spot birds, and warm up with local snacks by an open fire.
“Arto and Terhi are very passionate about their work and they share their knowledge very generously. We learned a lot and also had a lot of fun during the snowshoe walk. I am now able to recognize red fox and hare tracks and it brings a lot of joy during hikes. Also the food was delicious. We highly recommend!”
Pick a fell, an animal, or something frozen.
