Aurora Hunting Tour

On this 4h hour trip we combine snowshoe walk in the forest, views of Lake Inari and Aurora hunting. We have a beautiful walk to top of a fjell trough snowy forest. While we walk we look sings for willow and black grouses since they dig in the snow to escape cold temperatures.

Our walk is around the forests is easy and the focus is on enjoying the silence and beauty of Lapish wilderness, while spotting for northern lights.
