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!

Best experience we did in Rovaniemi! Mostly down to the fantastic guide who shared his passion and knowledge so generously with us. Didn’t catch a fish! But the whole experience was really great.

Thanks 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.
Magnificent experience with a passionate and exciting guide

We 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!

This 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!

Awesome 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!

Our 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 !

Superb adventure accompanied by Jeremy. A snowshoe walk, embellished with many explanations intended to orientate with a compass and a map and discover the forest around us. A stopover ice fishing, learning how to make fires in different ways, practical and interesting information about the environment around us, a break around the fire with the local food (a good sausage)! Excellent 3rd experience with this agency: a great Welcoming of the two young women, Gabriel and Jeremy very good guides interesting, willing and friendly! Thank you for helping so much to make our stay in Rovaniemi super nice!

Beautiful outing with Timo. Lots of kindness and precision in the explanations. A very nice Mood plus precise information on survival techniques in the middle of the tundra. Special mention for the Belgian-Belgian discussion on field hockey. I know, it has nothing to do with it. But it was fun!
