White dream adventure
snowshoe trip
Snowshoeing has moved humans for thousands of years. It enables humans to get to places one otherwise couldn’t reach in winter.
Imagine a wintery forest scenery, where snow has taken over the vegetation, and trees sparkle from the frost. Can you recognize the animals by the footprints on the untouched snow? By snowshoes you get to have a breath of fresh air without disturbing wildlife.
Take shelter at “laavu” where the guide makes a fire and have a mug of warm berry juice.

The magnificent mystery
The emergence of Northern Lights has long been a great mystery to mankind, but thanks to advancement in science, we now have a comprehensive understanding of the origin of the Northern Lights.
We will drive to a viewpoint, where there is a good chance to see the Northern Lights and try snowshoeing on a frozen lake to get as far away from light pollution as possible. This rises the possibilities of detecting the Northern lights.
We are also stopping by at a suspension bridge, which goes above a rushing river that stays in motion despite the -30 ´C degree weather and snow. If Lapland´s magic is on our side, we may admire the fascinating Northern Lights beside the ever flowing river, while enjoying sausages and warm berry juice by an open fire. What a perfect way to end the day!
