Located within the Arctic Circle in Northern Finland (Finnish Lapland), Saariselkä Village is a premier destination for nature lovers and outdoor adventure enthusiasts. It is world-renowned for its Arctic landscapes and its proximity to Urho Kekkonen National Park. As Finland's second-largest national park, it covers approximately 2,550 square kilometres (about 985 square miles). In addition, it is an excellent spot for taking in the incredible colours of the Northern Lights. Snowshoeing in Saariselkä is an amazing way to experience this unique region!

Then, with your snowshoes and headlamp on, your instructor will give an introduction to snowshoeing and snowshoeing techniques. Now, the fun starts! You'll set out into the Arctic night towards Urho Kekkonen National Park in the company of your friendly instructor. If luck is on your side, you may witness the breathtaking natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights. Don't forget your camera to capture amazing shots! 

Midway through the excursion, you'll take a break to savour the tranquillity of nature and the awe-inspiring, Arctic night sky, which is made even more enchanting during a full moon.
