This 2 hour snow shoe trek will take you to hills on shores of Lake Inari. Lake Inari has been listed by CNN (and us!) as one of the most beautiful locations in Europe. Let’s put the snowshoes on, pack some hot drinks and snacks and head to forest and hills.
Winter forest hiking does not get much easier and beautiful than this!
