What To Expect
Snowshoes on! Let’s explore the wilderness of Lapland with this complete educational snowshoeing tour adapted to every level! As you will snowshoe into the silent snowy forests, your outdoor guide will explain to you the basics of how to survive in such difficult conditions. You will first orientate yourself with a map and a compass to find your own way and reach the shores of an immense frozen lake. On the way, your guide will share with you some of its knowledge about the surrounding nature: how to use some trees or mushrooms to make a fire, for medicinal purposes, etc. It will soon be time to set your little camp! Let’s make your own fire to warm you up. And because one cannot survive without food, you will also drill your own hole in the frozen lake and try ice-fishing! If you catch a fish, your guide will show you how to grill it over the fire. Don’t worry if you are unlucky: a delicious Finnish barbecue snack will be prepared by your guide. This will also offer you a convivial moment around the fire and a great opportunity for your guide to answer your questions about Lapland! At the end of the tour, you should be ready to become the next Arctic adventurer of Rovaniemi!

Probably the Best Company on Rovaniemi

5.00It's hard not to congratulate our two super guides "Pierre & Loic " who thanks to their talent and the perseverance of Pierre for hunting in the Northern Lights and the discovery of a farm of Rennes Family with sleigh ride and knowledge of the wilderness of Loic, we spent 3 exceptional and fantastic days. We had to do 340 kms at night and go to Sweden to see the Aurora as what the term hunting is well justified. The adventure Artic with Loic took us to the wilderness , to the shores of a frozen lake , or to fish 80 cm of ice had to be pierced . After learning orientation and a small fire without matches or lighters , we devoured the excellent sausages planned in case of unsuccessful fishing , which was the case. Congratulations to the organization of Marie at Nordic Odyssey and our 2 guides we highly recommend
Nice experience

5.00Thanks to Justine, Antoine, Jérémie and Camille for helping to make our trip to Finnish Lapland an unforgettable experience. Charming guides explaining nature, customs, history and many other things to us in detail. We did 5 activities in groups of up to 8 people with the agency and we highly recommend it.

5.00We did the snowshoe adventure with ice fishing, fire and survival with Jérémi. Jérémi is first and foremost an expert in the knowledge of the forest and its different facets, but he is also passionate and an educator. We had a great time with him and the children were delighted with what they learned with him. THANKS!

5.00This was a great trip. It was unusually cold (even for Finland) but our guide, Leon, made sure we were warm and happy the whole time. We snow shoed down through a beautiful forest to a frozen lake where there was a tipi. A fire was lit and we had a warming drink and snack before trying our hand at ice fishing. Leon was very knowledgeable and flipped between french and English with ease as he explained how to light a fire and we cooked sausages. Then a walk back through the forest in our snow shoes. Loved it.
Magic!

5.00Awesome excursion and secretariat on top. Sylvie, Caro, Vero and Églantine are simply awesome, a real pleasure to communicate with them for logistics prior to the tour, they ensured a remarkable Customer Service. The Hyppolyte guide was able to take the excursion with a master's hand and even taught us how to survive in hostile environments and to stock up on food thanks to his remarkable fishing techniques despite a lake covered by a frozen layer for several centimeters! Great professionalism from the guide and secretaries who left us unforgettable memories. I highly recommend this agency!
We loved it!

5.00Our guide Gabriel turned this activity into a real experience. He shared his survival tips with us in French and English with simple vocabulary, which made it very accessible to us. With a compass and a map, you will have to find your way through the forest. Hopefully, you'll be lucky enough to catch a fish then!
Great experience !
