Winter Trek

Join this guided trek to the untouched wilderness of Inari municipality. Depending on the snow circumstances, we hike with either snowshoes or modern Finnish "gliding snowshoes" (short and wide, partly skin-based skis). Our trek takes us deep in to the forest with no human-made structures or tracks, only untouched snow and calm nature. We will travel in the forest, admire its beauty, learn about the nature and examine animal tracks, trying to figure out who made them. If we're lucky, we can see willow grouses in their snow-white winter outfit, grazing reindeers or even the biggest wild creature of Finland, moose. 

When we head back to car, it might be getting dark all ready. Snowshoeing / skiing in the dark is a magical experience. With the safety provided of our head torches, we can experience a totally different kind of forest. Mid-winter forest is silent and still, and moving around is like walking on a cotton cloud. Experience the complete darkness or use your headlamp to make big, deep shadows around you – either way, for sure you can make your imagination fly…
