The best way to catch a glimpse of the northern lights is to head out into the dark forest with snowshoes. During our walk we will stop to admire the nature and learn about animal tracks in the snow. If the sky is clear, we will see the bright stars and with a little luck the colourful northern lights. Stopping at a fire place we will have a hot drink and our guide will also tell us interesting stories about the arctic region. Length of the walk is 2-5 km.

The activities are open departures and program will be done if minimum 4 persons is joining. We will notify you at the latest by 3 p.m. the day before if the program is cancelled.
