Rovaniemi: Early Snow Hiking Adventure with Snacks｜Finland

Experience the first snowfalls of Lapland on a guided hiking adventure from Rovaniemi. While early winter in Rovaniemi doesn’t always guarantee snow, if the conditions are right, your guide will lead you on a snowshoeing adventure, taking you to areas where fresh snow is likely to have fallen in the Lapland region.

Through this early snow tour, your guide will take you in small groups to remote unique lands to experience the first snow falls of the year in Lapland. You will be able to explore Lapland wilderness forests and impressive white landscapes, even if snow has not come yet to Rovaniemi.

The location of the hike will be decided by the guide based on the forecast to find the area with the best snow condition, even if it means driving up to 2 hours. Whatever the place you will end up in, this tour will offer you a great opportunity to enjoy and photograph some picturesque landscapes and the white fairy-tale scenery of Lapland in the pre-Winter season.

Along the way, your guide will teach you more about the surrounding environment and local life, such as on how to survive in the Arctic. Then you will also have the opportunity to have a break for snacks around an open fire.

If conditions are favorable and if there is enough snow, you will be able to enjoy snowshoeing. Snowshoeing is a great way to experience nature because it allows going off the beaten path and get to places that you cannot reach with cars or even on foot.
