Off the trails snowshoeing tour
Description
On this snowshoeing tour, you will have the chance to explore the wild taiga of eastern Finland. This remote area is the perfect place to experience the peace of nature. Our route is mostly in Hossa national park, through the snow-white forests, along ridges and over frozen lakes. Each night, you will stay in wooden cabins - some without modern facilities, but all offering a cozy atmosphere. At night have a look at the sky turning into an explosion of stars and maybe the dance of the Northern Lights will top off your day!
Each day, we will snowshoe for approximately six hours, navigating terrain with many short ascents and descents. Beginners are welcome, but a reasonable level of fitness is required.
