Evening Ski Trek to the Wilderness - Extra Small group
Overview
Available languages
5 hours
Mobile ticket
Come to live on skis the magic atmosphere of the snowy forest at night, a snowy landscape lit sometimes by the moonlight, by the stars or perhaps by the northern lights (aurora)!
We´ll keep a break in a kota, traditional lappish tent, where we´ll sit on reindeer skins in front of the fire and grill a sausage.
The small size of the group (max. 5 customers) makes sure that the guide can take good care of every partecipant and that the quite atmosphere of nature will not be lost.
The trek takes place in a remote area outside of marked trails, so you will be able to experience a feeling of wilderness.
The kota tent is private, which means we will not meet other groups and peace of nature is guaranteed!
Guidind by a certified wilderness guide.
No previous skiing experience needed as skis are easy to use and the terrain is mostly flat.

What To Expect
Join our small group (max. 4 persons), and come to live on skis the magic atmospehere of the snowy forest at night, a snowy landscape lit sometimes by the moonlight, by the stars or perhaps by the northern lights (aurora)! Sometimes (cloudy weather, new moon) it will be darker around us and we´ll only see in the fan of our headlamp, the rest will remain unknown...The snowy forest at night has his charm in every weather! The treks takes place in a remote area, 30 min. away from Rovaniemi, far from towns and marked trails; for first we´ll go through the base techniques of trekking-skis; then we´ll start to ski through snowy forests, and frozen swamps towards the kota, traditional lappish tent. The kota will be our basecamp; we´ll light a fire in it, grill a snack, and relax sitting on reindeer skins. All throughout the trek we´ll check the sky to look for stars and the northern lights. If you bring along your camera, I will help you set it to get nice pictures of the northern lights.

5.00If you come to Rovaniemi/Lappland I can only recommend you this tour !! It was such a great experience and so much fun. Giacomo is a very nice and kind guide. We walked through the forest at night and I felt completely safe with him. During the walk through the woods we took short breaks and he explained about the things we saw around us. The food we got was also excellent (the vegetarian as well as the traditional Finnish sausages) and sitting in the tent by the fire was also a beautiful experience. We were provided with proper boots, headlamps and the skis. We would’ve gotten overalls but we were already wearing skiing clothes. Thank you very much Giacomo.
Stunning night ski adventure

5.00We had an absolutely stunning experience skiing through the forest at night. Even in snowy weather, we enjoyed the trip a lot. I can only imagine how incredible it could be with a clear sky or auroras. Suitable for all experience levels thanks to the good instructions from our guide Giacomo.
Absolutely great! Beautifull scenery and awesome experience.

5.00This tour was absolutely great! A real experience we will never forget. The beautifull scenery combined with the cross countrie ski experience was amazing. The grilling on the fire in the hut was a nice touch as well. We are not outdoor people and we've never skied. But we had so much fun. My 9 year old son dropped 16 times but still tought it was great. He really had a good time. The host Giacomo was so nice. He knew a lot about the animals and showed us animal tracks. He took a few photo's for us. We completely forgot to do this, because we were in the experience. We even were lucky enough to see the northern light. We couldn't find a lot of reviews online, so that's why I chose to write this review. I hope this helps you! Just book it, you won't regret this.
Excellent evening cross country skiing

5.00The trip is wonderful, all thanks to our guide Giacomo. He’s accommodating and super supportive. We only skied half-way to the cottage and went back since we’re anxious being in the forest at night. Even so, he’s happy to go back. We even go northern lights hunting afterwards since there’s still time in the tour. Even though it wasn’t as planned, the trip is amazing.
Unforgettable

5.00Absolutely epic night ski adventure in Rovaniemi's snowy woods! Huge props to Jack for guiding us through this magical winter wonderland. His skiing tips were spot-on, and the laid-back BBQ at the rest stop was just the perfect touch. Skiing through a forest blanketed in snow for the first time was an out-of-this-world experience. If you're looking for unforgettable memories, this is it! Thanks Jack !!!
Amazing !

5.00An absolute must try experience in Rovaniemi. Giacomo is an amazing guide whose passion for his craft reflects in this tour. And if you’re lucky unlike me and you get the Aurora lights it’s an icing on the cake. Highly recommended 👍
