Welcome to the heart of Winter wonderland!
Discover the magical forests of Riisitunturi National Park with snowshoes or Altai skis on our private guided adventure from Rovaniemi!
The scenery at Riisitunturi National Park is like fully-snow-covered “cotton” trees during winter months (January-March). However, depending on the first snow, those landscapes might be visible already in the early season. More specifically regarding the hike, it is usually around 4-8km with the goal to reach untouched or off tracks areas of the National Park. In fact, this experience is designed to explore elusive nature area or reach some viewpoints over the immense subarctic forests.
Because the tour is private, you are given the opportunity, when booking, to choose where you would like to live this adventure. Precisely, this particular scenary and pictures are located in Riisitunturi National Park (2h driving distance from Rovaniemi) but you may change destination. After arriving at the National Park, you may opt for a hike with snowshoes or back country skis depending on your fitness level and previous experiences with winter sports.
Along the way, your outdoor guide will explain to you about your surroundings, the fauna and flora, footprints in the snow, etc. A break with an open fire will also allow you to grill a typical Finnish snack with hot beverages. This is a great opportunity for your guide to show you how to build a fire in arctic conditions and answer all your questions about Lapland.
Booking details
Our team will be in contact with you to discuss and advise about the best option and place to go, according to your wishes and what you would like to experience in terms of scenery and duration.
When booking, you will be given the opportunity to choose between trekking skis or snowshoes. Snowshoes are easier to use on every terrain but cover shorter distances. Altai skis allow you to glide on deep snow, so you go a bit faster and farther, but it may be more technical for hilltops or downhill terrains. In all cases, both types of equipment are accessible to beginners, and the guide will offer trek options adapted to your level.
