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 can also see signs of willow grouses digging into the snow and reindeers grazing through the untouched winter scenery.
