Rovaniemi: Hiking and Snowshoeing Adventure in Lapland - How the 3 Hours Typically Flow: Snowshoes On, Forest Trails, View, Return

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 753 reviews · 3 hours · from $104Our pick

3-hour Arctic Circle snowshoe hike in Rovaniemi with hotel pickup, winter gear, and gingerbread plus hot blueberry juice.

“Fantastic experience. We were very fortunate to have amazing weather with a beautiful sunrise and clear skies from the look-out point at the top of the hill, plus there was a lot of fresh snow from the night before that made it extra fun to walk with the snowshoes. We were group of about 18 people with 2 guides. The guides were very friendly, they let us stay a bit longer at the look-out point given the great weather, and they took great care of the entire group. I'd highly recommend this activity.”

“Had an interesting walk to the Frozen waterfall.. it was a good walk except that it was very tiring climbing uphill at the last stage before reaching the car park. My guide for the day was Azzura from Nordic travel and she took good care of me to make sure that I didn’t fall on the slippery ground along the walk. Enjoyed the bbq lunch esp the salmon soup . Yummy !!! The only setback is there’s no proper toilet there except for the compost toilet at the start of the walk. Overall it’s a good walk to see the amazing frozen waterfall.”

Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland

12.Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $131

Backcountry ski trekking in Lapland near Rovaniemi with provided gear, small-group private guide, hot drinks, and a Finnish firepit BBQ.

“The guide was very nice and friendly but also inexperienced. I believe winter is a peak season and companies hire just anyone to conduct the tour. We went with ski to a lake which was slushy and one participant fell into a hole. Then guide wanted to take the group to forest but failed to guide us there. So all in all, it was more of a checklist crossed but wouldn't suggest this tour.”
