What Makes This Snowshoe Tour Special
This snowshoe adventure offers more than just a walk in the snow — it’s an immersive Arctic nature experience. Led by knowledgeable local guides, the tour combines peaceful forest trekking with storytelling about Kiruna’s wildlife, landscape, and way of life.
Unlike fast-paced or technical hikes, this tour follows a gentle uphill route at a relaxed pace, making it accessible and enjoyable for most fitness levels. Small groups allow for a personal experience, time to absorb the silence of the winter forest, and opportunities to spot wildlife tracks along the way.
The highlight comes at the top, where panoramic views reward your effort. Here, your guide prepares hot drinks and traditional Swedish fika over an open fire — a cozy, authentic moment rarely found on standard snowshoe tours.
Warm clothing, quality equipment, and thoughtful pacing ensure comfort even in Arctic conditions, creating a safe, memorable, and truly local winter experience.

5.00The hike up the mountain was exciting with the sight and sound of the night. Never been closer to nature. Soren was a reliable guide who looked after my safety and graciously kept with my pace :) Enjoyed the northern lights which brightly illuminated the sky! Wouldn't mind coming back.
