Embark on a beautiful Aurora hunting trek through a snowy forest! The lack of light pollution provides ideal conditions to witness the Northern Lights in their full glory. If we're lucky, we might also see signs of willow grouse digging into the snow and reindeer grazing through the untouched winter scenery.
