Activities, Nature and special experiences

Discover the true Lapland nature by hiking through untouched snow blankets and under the trees covered in white.

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 to the surrounding nature: Embrace the tranquility and peace of the arctic woods and breathe in the purest air in the world. Fresh outdoor air is effective in arousing one’s appetite, so by the end of the tour it’s time to treat yourself with a delicious warm lunch: meal is served at the Wilderness resort restaurant, a traditional log manor that used to house lumberjacks who worked on the river.

Please note: Basic physical fitness is required for this tour and thus it’s not recommended for young children or persons with remarkable physical limitations. Guests of Arctic Circle Wilderness resort can enjoy this experience right from their doorstep.
