Snowshoes turn a forest that is chest-deep in powder into a place you can walk. These 15 compare distance, elevation and how much of the trail has already been broken for you.

“Balade accessible à un grand nombre (capacités physiques). Des paysages magnifiques : on a été éblouis tout au long de la randonnée. N’hésitez plus, ça vaudrait vraiment le coup. On a adoré. La pause déjeuner était très agréable. Si vraiment il fallait encore améliorer quelque chose : peut-être un peu plus de marche et d’explications de notre guide pendant la pause déjeuner.”

Review of Saariselkä snowshoeing in Urho Kekkonen National Park, with route details, guide tips, pricing, fitness advice, and honest value notes.
“This walk was really enjoyable. The activity is not as exciting as the ones I have already tried (with snowmobiles), but it is very nice. I loved to see the park with all the trees covered in snow. It looks like a winter wonderland! I gave 4 stars and not 5 just because I think the price is a bit too high for what we did. It was just a walk of 1 hour and 30 minutes with snowshoes. Anyway, we liked the activity and would recommend it.”

“The tour guides are very friendly and love to tell you more about lapland the environment you are in. We had a very pleasant experience and would really recommend this activity to others as well if you want to see reindeer (and feed them and walk with them) and also get the chance the see more of the beautiful landscape by snowshoeing. Afterwards you get to warm up in a cozy cottage and enjoy drinks and a sausage. All in all a very nice experience with very friendly tour guides.”
Review of Rovaniemi’s night snowshoe tour, with Arctic forests, campfire snacks, small groups, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
“Belle activité. Ciel magnifique. Guide génial. Bémol, l'activité raquette est un peu courte et assez simple : balade dans une forêt à peine 1h. Le temps de trajet vers le lieu d'activité est de 35'. Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
Review of Rovaniemi’s 2-hour snowshoe walk, with Arctic nature, expert guides, hot drinks, winter gear, transfers, and practical tips.
“A különböző programok résztvevőit közös busszal vitték a belvárosi találkozóhelyről Apukkaba. A csoportokat utána itt osztották szét. Egy rövid útmutatás után indultunk a kb. 2,5 km-es sétára a fagyott távon és erdőben. A túravezetők nagyon tájékozottak és kedvesek voltak. Sokat magyaráztak a természetről, növényekről, állatokról és az ökoszisztémáról, amit nagyon hasznosnak találtunk. A túra számunkra egyáltalán nem volt megterhelő, én személy szerint inkább fáztam, mintsem kimelegedtem. Ízelítőnek azonban kiváló volt. Egyetlen negatívumként említhető, hogy először csak egy kis buszt küldtek, amire nem fért fel mindenki, így aki lemaradt még várnia kellett. Mi szerencsére felfértünk az első...”
Review of Rovaniemi’s snowshoeing and ice fishing tour, with pricing, itinerary, food, weather tips, group size, and booking advice.
“Very calm and enjoyable experience - Jana was a great guide, she tailored it to meet people’s abilities and was very patient. Ice fishing in theory is fun, but social teepee hangs with snags was pretty cool too! She did great timing the snow too :)”

“Great activity. Our guide Mehbub (apologies if I’ve spelt his name wrong) was knowledgeable and friendly. We went to a gorgeous hiking area and he took some beautiful photos of us that we love. Had a delicious Finnish sausage BBQ afterwards. Highly recommended”
Meet reindeer, snowshoe across a frozen lake, and enjoy sausages in a private cabin on this small-group Levi adventure.
“We booked this tour very last minute and were grateful that it was accepted. We had a lovely time with Tuikku, who deserves more than 5 stars! She was very well organized and answered all of our questions. There was a very friendly atmosphere and you can feel that the company makes an effort to create this kind of experience. The visit to the reindeer farm did feel a bit rushed but as we had already had another reindeer farm visit on a previous trip to Finland, this was not a big issue for us. Snowshoeing on the frozen lake and in the snowy forest was great. Grilling sausages in…”

Walk through Ylläs forests on snowshoes, learn about animal tracks, and warm up by a campfire with hot drinks and biscuits.
“The group was quite large with 20 people, even the guides said it was one of the biggest they had experienced. We were glad to be able to roam around freely. The guide was informative but did not wait to share the information until the group was complete so others might not have heard his stories. We enjoyed it but did consider it would have been perfectly fine to do without a guide.”
Pick a fell, a dog team or a hole in the ice.
