Rovaniemi: Arctic Wilderness Hike with Fire-Making - All day｜Finland

Step into the wild and discover the beautiful wilderness of Lapland with this complete educational tour. Choose between a longer route (10–15 km) in the Rovaniemi area for a full immersion into Arctic forests and fells, or a moderate hike (5–8 km) in another part of Lapland to explore unique natural features: such as deep canyons or the rounded summits of Lappish fells (our “local mountains”).

Explore some elusive nature area or reach some viewpoints over the immense subarctic forests. Along the way, your outdoor guide will explain 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 some 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.
