Don't miss out on a wonderful adventure out in the Arctic landscapes of Finnish Lapland with an expert instructor who will guide you through the stunning forests and marshlands, and tell you about the history of the place on this amazing snowshoeing excursion from Ylläsjärvi! Located in the Finnish Lapland countryside, Ylläsjärvi is a small, historic village surrounded by incredible natural landscapes such as taiga forests, snowy mountains, and a lake that freezes over in the winter. This place is perfect to experience the wonders of the Arctic in a safe and tranquil environment.
On the day of your snowshoeing excursion in Finnish Lapland, you'll have the option to be picked up from your accommodations in Ylläsjärvi or, if you are in a big group, as far as Äkäslompolo. If you are staying further away and have your own car or wish to arrive by bus or on foot, you can do so as well. You will need to arrive at the North Wind Lapland headquarters, where you will meet the expert instructor who will lead the activity. You will also receive snowshoes and winter clothing to stay warm throughout the experience, as well as any other necessary equipment to ensure your safety during the activity.
Once you're all geared up, the adventure starts! You'll head toward a snowy forest and climb up and down a few hills before reaching the frozen marshlands that surround Ylläsjärvi. The snowshoes help you by distributing your weight over a larger surface area and keeping you on top of the snow, so it's much easier to walk and move around. Halfway through the excursion, you will stop to have a break, drink something warm, and eat an invigorating snack to give you the strength to complete the circuit of the tour.
You should come prepared for the experience by wearing warm underlayers of clothing and bringing anything you may need (medications, water, etc.) to spend around 2 hours on this amazing snowshoeing excursion around Finnish Lapland from Ylläsjärvi!
Take your chance to enjoy the snow and the incredible fauna and flora of the Arctic as you follow an expert instructor who will not only lead you to see stunning landscapes, but also educate you about the region. Book your snowshoeing excursion around Finnish Lapland from Ylläsjärvi today!
