Aurora Snowshoe Adventure
Step into the Arctic night and experience the enchantment of Lapland under the night sky on this 3-hour guided Aurora snowshoeing adventure, in a beautiful forest area in Rovaniemi, just a 20-minute drive from Santa Claus Village.
Snowshoeing at night offers a magical way to explore the silent, snow-covered wilderness far from artificial lights. With every step, you’ll venture deeper into nature, following quiet trails through our private forest in search of clear skies and the dancing Northern Lights.
Moving at a relaxed pace, you’ll experience the peace of the Arctic night as your guide leads you across soft, untouched snow. No previous experience is needed—your guide will show you how to use the snowshoes and help you feel confident and comfortable before heading out.
Midway through the journey, we’ll pause for a peaceful break in the forest to enjoy hot berry juice, a traditional Lappish drink that warms both hands and heart, and a small snack. As you sip, keep your eyes on the sky—this could be the moment the Aurora Borealis begins to shimmer above the trees.
Your guide will also be happy to take photos of you using your own camera or smartphone, helping you capture the memory of your night under the northern sky.
This small-group tour is designed for all levels and offers a gentle, memorable way to connect with nature, enjoy fresh air, and with a bit of luck witness one of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomena.
Northern lights are of course an act of nature – the chances of seeing them depends mostly on two factors – the solar activity and cloud cover. Due to this, we cannot guarantee that they will appear every day.
