DESCRIPTION

SNOWSHOEING FOR AURORAS!

This tour will offer a memorable night adventure on snowshoes! Your guide will take you in small groups away from Rovaniemi to some elusive wild areas with no light pollution. During the excursion, you will explore Lapland wilderness by night, walking on deep snow to reach some beautiful nature area. You may even spot or hear some animals such as reindeer or arctic hares… Don’t worry about the bears, they are sleeping during Winter!

Snowshoeing is a great way because it allows going off the beaten path and get to 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 walk will for example aim at reaching some elusive areas without light pollution and a nice open view to the north. You may then walk 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.

This snowshoeing adventure by night is a great tour for those of you who want to experience the Northern lights with an extra nature activity. The snowshoeing + 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! 

BONUS : PHOTOS TAKEN ARE FOR YOU!

When the weather & aurora conditions are very promising, your guide may take their professional camera on tour to take pictures of you and the Northern lights. This is not a guaranteed service as the tour is not a photography tour, but we are always happy to offer some extra memories whenever we can! If the guides take photos, we will of course send them to you free-of-charge in the next few days!

This snowshoeing adventure by night is a great tour for those of you who want to experience the Northern lights with an extra nature activity. The snowshoeing + 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!

ABOUT AURORA : Please note that this is not a Northern Lights hunt insofar as the activity focuses on the snowshoeing part in the arctic nature within one hour drive around Rovaniemi. The possibility to observe auroras is mostly dependent on good weather conditions. If the weather is promising in Rovaniemi, the snowshoeing 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 snowshoeing 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 to find clear sky.

Meeting Time & Pick up : Note that the pick up time is for information purpose ; thus, the exact pick up time will be communicated to you via email the morning of the experience.  We offer free pick up and drop off services in a 8km range from the city center which includes for example Ounasvaara and Santa Claus Village.
