What To Expect
A unique private Northern Lights experience in the wilderness. You can choose if you want to use skis or snowshoes during the tour. Entering the wilderness after dark is an unforgettable experience as we move with headlamps in the snowy backcountry. On a clear night we will see the stars and moon guiding our way. With the right conditions we will have a chance to see the beautiful Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) roaming against the dark sky.
During the tour we will visit a traditional campsite and you will get to enjoy complimentary hot beverages and light meal/snacks made from local ingredients by cozy campfire.
On this tour we will be skiing/snowshoeing in a relatively easy wilderness terrain in the Pyhätunturi Area. You can choose between Snowshoes or OAC skin based skis which are designed for wilderness skiing. The adjustable bindings in snowshoes or skis fit to most winter or hiking boots.
Earlier experience of snowshoes or wilderness skiing is not needed as your guide will teach you the correct technique.
Please keep in mind: since the Northern lights are a natural phenomenon seeing them or the vibrancy of them can’t be guaranteed during the tour.
