Discover the easiest way to get through the snow on foot on this snowshoeing excursion from Rovaniemi! Surrounded by breathtaking Arctic landscapes, Rovaniemi is a wonderful winter destination, perfect to host diverse winter experiences such as snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, and much more. As the capital of Finnish Lapland, this winter wonderland combines a modern city with incredible wild surroundings that allow for visitors and locals alike to enjoy the Arctic weather that defines it.
On the day of your snowshoeing excursion from Rovaniemi, you'll have the opportunity to be picked up by your instructor within a 10-kilometre radius of Rovaniemi's city centre. You can also arrive by yourself at the StayLapland headquarters. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will distribute the thermal overalls, snow boots, beanies, mittens and other winter apparel necessary to stay safe during the experience. You'll then be transported to the starting point of the adventure, in the Kuoksa Wilderness Park.
Once you're ready, it's time to start! You'll set off on this adventure with your instructor at the head of the group, taking you through a beautiful Arctic forest, deep into the Lappish wilderness. You'll take breaks when needed, and your instructor will manage the pace of the excursion to accommodate your group's physical level. When you get back to the starting point of the experience, you'll get to warm up with a delicious light barbecue and hot drinks over a campfire.
Keep in mind that the temperatures in the Arctic can go from 5 to -30 degrees Celsius, so bringing very small children on this activity might not be the best idea. You should also come prepared with thermal or wool underlayers, as well as extra warm layers to wear under the suit, or even to wear out on the excursion, since the workout might make you too warm to wear a full Arctic suit, and anything else you may need (medication, extra snacks, sunglasses, etc.) to spend a safe and fun 4 hours on this snowshoeing excursion from Rovaniemi!
