2-hour snowshoe trek in Levi, Finland, with winter clothing, hot drinks, and guided forest stops for photos in quiet Lapland.
“It was an incredible experience and we had a lot of fun. Our guide, Matthijs, took a lot of time for us and explained the flora and fauna of Lapland in great detail while we were hiking in the snow.. It was really interesting and informative and the Snowshoeing was a bit strenuous, but incredibly fun, especially in the deep snow. We would highly recommend this tour if you lucky enough to visit Levi in february.”

“The weather was fantastic, that helped. We went to the lake, where we followed a trail, went to the old saw mill island, enjoyed the fantastic snow covered trees and lavished the sun.vmarko told us about the history of the place, the ice castle (and what Covid did to the area), kemi as a city etc. In total we covered quite a distance, so it was a good workout. Tip, the better the group, the further you go...so ask in advance”

“Mooie tocht gemaakt naar Pallas. Het skiën op zich is vrij makkelijk, vergelijkbaar met sneeuwschoen wandelen. Korte pauze met een worstje braden is leuk. Onze gids nam de moeite om naar Pallas te rijden, daar was het open weer en hadden we de prachtigste plaatjes in de natuur. Erg mooi”

Snowshoe through Inari’s ancient Lapland woods with biologist Terhi, then warm up in a kota with hot drinks and local snacks.
“What a perfect start of our trip to Lapland! Terhi is a friendly, knowledgable guide. We really enjoyed the well organized activity with a lot of new information and knowledge about nature (plants, trees, vegetation and wildlife). We did the snowshoe walk at the first day of our trip. This helped us to see and understand a lot more about the nature/environment which we visited the days after the snowshoe walk. It once again created more awareness about the consequences of climate change as well.”
Two and a half hours of nocturnal cross-country skiing near Lake Norvajärvi, with small-group guidance, fire-side breaks, and possible aurora views.
“Kyle was a consummate professional from start to finish. He checked the forecast and offered to change me to a daytime tour since Northern Lights were unlikely (though I kept the nighttime tour). He picked me up and dropped me off at my accommodations and ensured I was aware ahead of time of any gear I needed to have (and what gear he would have). He was personable, accommodating and very patient (my first time trying cross-country skiing!). The scenery was incredible, and Kyle went out of his way to include certain touches to make the tour unique and ensure that I enjoyed myself. Definitely recommend!!”
