Snowshoeing in the evening

Have you ever stood beneath a sky filled with countless stars or felt the serene silence of a snowy arctic night? Imagine stargazing under a moonlit sky, walking through snow-covered landscapes, and perhaps even watching the Northern Lights dance across the skies. This unforgettable tour will connect you deeply with arctic nature.

Let’s see what surprises the wilderness has in store for us. Will it be a sky glittering with 1,000 stars, the mesmerizing glow of the Northern Lights, or a hidden gem waiting to be discovered in the snowy forest?

We’ll journey along the Big Bear's Trail, exploring the stunning Valtavaara nature reserve. At the summit, we’ll gaze out over the northern horizon and sip warm, traditional wild berry juice while soaking in the beauty of the snowy landscapes around us. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the nature surrounding us, the arctic way of life, and the myths and science behind the stars and Northern Lights.

What to Expect:

• Meeting Point: We’ll start at the Saarua parking lot info sign (Ahon Jussintie 7), where you’ll receive your snowshoes. You can get there also by ski bus or gondola lift.
• No Experience Needed: Your guide will give a brief introduction to snowshoeing, so it’s perfect for beginners. If you can walk a few kilometers on hilly terrain in regular winter shoes, you’re ready for this adventure!
• Hills and fells are great places for spotting the night sky. That's why have uphills/downhills on this tour. If you want to have easier uphill and shorter tour, join our other tour to see the night sky.
• What You’ll Need: Dress warmly in proper winter clothing, bring an adventurous spirit, and have a moderate level of physical fitness.

Your guide will tailor the route to the group, covering distances between 2 - 6 kilometers. If the Northern Lights put on an especially stunning show, the tour might run a little longer.

Key Details:

• Duration: 2.5–3 hours
• Length: 2–6 km
• Group Size: 2–8 persons. The minimum group size is 2. If the minimum isn’t met by 6 pm the previous day, the tour will be canceled, and you’ll receive a full refund.
