Activity description

Experience the magic of the Northern Lights in Finland on this 2.5-hour snowshoeing safari in Saariselkä. Welcoming ages 12 and up!

Since Saariselkä is situated in northern Finland (north of the Arctic Circle), it is one of the best locations to view the breathtaking Northern Lights. Snowshoeing at twilight may be one of the most enchanting ways to enjoy this incredible natural phenomenon!

For your convenience, participants can choose between a pick-up at one of the listed locations or meeting onsite (please specify when booking). Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your friendly and knowledgeable guide who will provide all of the winter gear you'll need, including thermal overalls, boots, wool socks, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and, of course, snowshoes. After a safety briefing and an introduction to snowshoeing techniques, the adventure begins! 

You and your group (a maximum of 30 people) will set out into the wilderness of Finnish Lapland in search of the renowned Aurora Borealis. Traversing the snow and the picturesque wilderness, you will stop for a break and be treated to a steaming cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows. While sipping on your beverage, you'll take a moment to relax and enjoy the dancing colours of the Northern Lights in total tranquillity. Don't forget your camera, you don't want to miss these amazing photo opportunities! After an enchanting evening, you'll return to the original departure point in Saariselkä with memories that will last a lifetime.
