DESCRIPTION
A PRIVATE ADVENTURE BY NIGHT
This private tour offers a memorable night adventure on skis! Your guide will lead your group away from Rovaniemi to some elusive wild areas with no light pollution. During the excursion, you will explore Lapland wilderness by night, gliding on deep snow to reach some beautiful nature area.
EASY AND FUN: WHAT IS SKI TOURING?
Ski touring is an easy ski discipline designed to let you glide on deep snow off the beaten tracks or groomed trails. The backcountry skis (called in Finnish, “sliding snowshoes”) are equipped with a skin allowing to both hike uphill and slide downhill. Adventurers across Lapland use them for both long Arctic expeditions and shorter day tours into the wild. These skis are the perfect equipment to get to stunning places that you cannot reach by car or or foot.
A CHANCE TO SEE THE AURORAS
Because the tour happens during the night, you will also get a chance to observe the Northern lights and capture them! We always try to adapt the tour to improve your chances of spotting auroras. For example, the trek may lead to areas free from light pollution with wide open views to the north. You might ski through forests to reach a little hidden lake or hike up to a hilltop with a clear northern view over the horizon.
During the tour, your guide share insight about the Northern lights, including the scientific explanation behind the phenomenon and also the tales and legends associated to it. To warm you up, your guide serves biscuits and hot drinks.
As this is a private experience, your guide adjusts the route to suit your group’s skill level, choosing the most fitting terrain and difficulty.
This skiing adventure by night is a great tour for those of you who want to experience the Northern lights with an extra nature activity. The ski trekking + auroras combo is also a nice alternative to our famous Premium Northern Lights Photography Hunting with dinner option and Private Northern Lights Photography tour, especially when the weather conditions are less promising: in case of snowfalls, you still get a memorable adventure into arctic wilderness!

PLEASE NOTE
We recommend to book in advance, as availability may be very limited in peak seasons.
The price apply for the whole group from 1 to 8 adults (from 12 years old), independent of the number of participants. For children under 12 years old, please contact us before booking so we may discuss about an appropriate itinerary or an adapted private tour.
Please dress appropriately according to the weather, with warm clothes, good winter boots, gloves, hats and thick socks. We’ll give you if necessary winter overalls and boots.
A certain amount of walking is involved. This tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers, for people with heart conditions or with limited mobility. We do not recommend for children under 10 years old to join the trip either, younger children on request, subject to our approval prior the booking.
ABOUT AURORA : Please note that this is not a Northern Lights hunt insofar as the activity focuses on ski trekking in arctic nature within 40km around Rovaniemi. The possibility to observe auroras is mostly dependent on good weather conditions. If the weather is promising in Rovaniemi, the ski trekking adventure offers a good chance for aurora observation. If the weather is not promising in the Rovaniemi area, the chance to observe auroras is lower ; the activity will still take place to enjoy the ski trekking adventure in nature. In this case, it is still possible to request an upgrade for a Northern Lights Photography Hunting (at extra cost) which usually travels much farther in minivan to find clear sky.
