Snowshoe Hike to The Shores of Lake Inari

2 hours

Join us for a two-hour snowshoe trek through the scenic landscapes around Lake Inari. This excursion will take you to the hills on the shores of Lake Inari, a location recognized by CNN (and us!) as one of the most beautiful places in Europe. Depending on the snow depth and the day's conditions, we will choose either traditional snowshoes or modern gliding snowshoes for our trek. We'll pack some hot drinks and snacks and get ready yo explore the peaceful winter forest and hills.

Our journey begins in the Taiga forests, where you'll learn the unique flora and fauna of the region. The snow-covered forest and trees create a perfect environment for spotting and identifying animal tracks and birds. Our knowledgeable guides will share insights into the behavior and habitats of the local wildlife, adding an educational touch to your adventure.

As we make our way through the forest, you'll have opportunities to observe and photograph the beautiful scenery, including views of the expansive Lake Inari.

We recommend this activity for those aged 12 and up. For younger children, we offer Winter Fun Day option, ensuring everyone can enjoy the snowy landscapes in a way that suits them best.

You also have the option to combine this adventure with an Open Fire Lunch and Tent Sauna & Ice Swimming for an extended experience. You can select the options on the checkout page.
