Arctic Wilderness Hike from Rovaniemi (Day & Evening)｜Finland

Explore, enjoy, learn!

From Rovaniemi, your outdoor guide will lead you on a hike to explore the Arctic wilderness. The hike is adapted to the level of the group with different difficulty options, and to the highlights of the season. Even without snow, Lapland is worth discovering!

A gentle hike in a great nature area in the Rovaniemi region, with a great viewpoint. The hike is usually around 4-5km and the tour lasts 3h30-4h.

The experience is designed to explore some elusive nature area or reach some viewpoints over the immense subarctic forests. Along the way, your outdoor guide explains to you about your surroundings, the fauna and flora, footprints in the early snow or in the mud, how to use trees or mushrooms, identify the berries to eat, and other basics of how to survive in such difficult conditions.

A break with an open fire will also allow you to grill a typical Finnish snack with hot beverages. This is a great opportunity for your guide to show you how to build a fire in Arctic conditions and answer all your questions about Lapland.

This small-group tour (max. 8 guests) ensures a more personal connection with nature.

Know before you go: We organize this excursion from spring to autumn so you can experience Arctic nature even without snow. The tour is organized from the end of May until November in the evenings and starts at a flexible time, adapted to the sunset hours. The Midnight Sun period in Rovaniemi lasts from end of May until early July. In July and August, the sun sets for a few hours only, offering equally impressive warm colors and the so-called “white nights”. From September onwards, as the Northern Lights season starts we may spot some on our way back from the sunset hike.
