How about admiring the Northern Lights in a snowy forest? Or the endless Arctic wilderness bathing in springtime sunlight? Perhaps a frozen waterfall in the fells? Options are numerous, and there are plenty of companies organising snowshoeing hikes all around Finland.

Guided hikes are recommended for beginners, and trails have been marked for those who wish to embark on a tour of their own but are not familiar with the territory.

If you can walk in your shoes, you can walk in snowshoes. There is a nack or two to it, but anyone will get the hang of it in an instant. If the snow is really deep, poles come in handy. They’re also good exercise for the upper body.

Strap them on and face the wild!
