Northern Lights Snowshoeing Adventure around Lapland, from Rovaniemi

Hike deep into the Finnish wilderness in search of one of the earth's strangest and most beautiful phenomena on this amazing Northern Lights snowshoeing adventure around Lapland, from Rovaniemi! Rovaniemi is practically the only city in the world located right on the Arctic Circle, and because of this, it is considered its entry point. This Finnish city, located in the Lapland region at the very north of the country, is a natural treasure trove with snowy pine forests, varied wildlife that includes moose, wolves, and reindeer, and the possibility to observe the Aurora Borealis for almost half the year.

On the day of your Northern Lights snowshoeing adventure around Lapland, from Rovaniemi, your instructor at Nordic Odyssey offers you a complimentary pick-up service from your accommodations if you are staying within an 8 km radius of their headquarters. Once you arrive there, you'll meet with the instructor who will accompany you throughout the day, and they'll give you a thorough safety and activity briefing, so you know where you're going and what to do to avoid any mishaps. You'll also be able to rent winter overalls and boots on-site (5€/set), so you'll be fully prepared for the experience.

Once you're all geared up, it's time to go! Your instructor will drive you up to 1 hour away from Rovaniemi in order to find a perfect spot with very little light pollution, and once you find it, you'll officially start this Northern Lights snowshoeing adventure around Lapland, from Rovaniemi. You'll hike around the snowy forest, keeping your eyes in the sky as much as possible, and search for the green, purple, blue, or pink lights that will very probably appear there at nightfall. And when you find them, you'll take a break to take pictures and enjoy this wonderful natural show with some biscuits and hot beverages. You might even get some professional photos taken if the instructor brings their camera on the excursion (which is not always the case).

Now, it is not always possible to find the Aurora Borealis in the Finnish sky. You need excellent visibility (no clouds), as well as the right environmental conditions for them to appear. With this in mind, your instructor will do their best to find the dates, times, and places when the Northern Lights are supposed to appear, so you can enjoy your snowshoeing adventure from Rovaniemi. However, if they see that it is not very probable that the lights will be visible, they might reschedule your activity so you don't miss out on the chance to observe them.

Don't forget to bring comfortable clothes that are adapted to the weather, and winter boots (or rent some if you need to). You should also bring a hat, gloves, and a bottle of water, as well as anything else you might need (medication, extra snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing moment with your loved ones on this Northern Lights snowshoeing adventure around Lapland, from Rovaniemi! Lastly, you should have already eaten dinner by the time you're picked up for your adventure, since you'll be in remote areas where food is not readily available.
