The Night Snowshoe Adventure is a must-do Arctic experience and the true gem of northern nightlife. Step into the silent winter forest, snowshoe beneath a sky filled with stars, and feel the magic of the Arctic night. With a little luck, the Northern Lights may appear and turn the sky into a natural light show.

At the summit, enjoy breathtaking views over the northern horizon while sipping warm traditional wild berry juice. Your guide will share captivating stories about Arctic nature, local life, and the legends and science behind the stars and Aurora.
