DESCRIPTION
A SKI ADVENTURE BY NIGHT
This private tour will offer a memorable night adventure on skis! Your guide will take 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.
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 ; they are equally used for long Arctic expeditions or shorter day tours into wild nature. They are the perfect equipment to get to beautiful elusive places that you cannot reach with cars or on foot.
Because the tour happens during the night, you will also get a chance to observe the Northern lights and capture them! We will always try to adapt the tour to increase the chance of finding auroras; the trek will for example aim at reaching some elusive areas without light pollution and a nice open view to the north. You may then ski through the forests to reach a little hidden lake, or walk up to a hilltop to have a nice view over the horizon.
During the tour, your guide will teach you more about the Northern lights, the scientific explanation behind the phenomenon but also the tales and legends associated to it. Biscuits and hot drinks will be served as well to warm you up.
As this is a private experience, the tour will be adapted to the level of the group with different terrains and difficulty options.
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 Northern Lights Photography Hunting Experience from Rovaniemi , 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. You may rent professional winter overalls and winter boots for an extra cost of 5€/set.
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 12 years old to join the trip either.
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.
