2.Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $131Top rated

Review of Lapland’s ski trekking safari in Rovaniemi, with backcountry skiing, warm gear, forest scenery, barbecue snacks, and practical tips.

“The guide was very nice and friendly but also inexperienced. I believe winter is a peak season and companies hire just anyone to conduct the tour. We went with ski to a lake which was slushy and one participant fell into a hole. Then guide wanted to take the group to forest but failed to guide us there. So all in all, it was more of a checklist crossed but wouldn't suggest this tour.”

The food our guide provided on the barbecue was brilliant. This was the best activity we did on our holiday and would recommend it to everyone.

Review of Rovaniemi’s small-group night ski trek, with forest skiing, a kota fire, grilled food, gear tips, pricing, and practical advice.

“Absolutely epic night ski adventure in Rovaniemi's snowy woods! Huge props to Jack for guiding us through this magical winter wonderland. His skiing tips were spot-on, and the laid-back BBQ at the rest stop was just the perfect touch. Skiing through a forest blanketed in snow for the first time was an out-of-this-world experience. If you're looking for unforgettable memories, this is it! Thanks Jack !!!”

5.Ski Trekking under the Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $141

Ski through Lapland’s snowy forests near Rovaniemi, hunt for Northern Lights, and warm up with Finnish snacks by a fire.

“I had an excellent time on this tour - our guide Jo was wonderful and helpful. I loved the small group vibe, it felt safer as I was skiing for the first time. We unfortunately didn’t really see the lights but could see them a bit in photos, it was just cloudy. It was cold but the overalls and boots provided were great and it was a very easy process from arriving at the centre, to getting changed, and getting on location. Ending in a little teepee with a fire was great and I loved getting a little info on Finnish traditions. Would definitely recommend this company.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $140

Ski through Finnish Lapland under the Northern Lights with a small group, campfire snacks, warm gear, and expert guidance.

“We hadden de tour met onze gids Guille. Het was een fantastische ervaring. Hij nam ons mee naar een magische plek, diep in de bossen van de stad vandaan. Echt winter wonderland met witte besneeuwde bomen en geen geluid van de stad. 90 minuten totaal geskied en halverwege leerde hij ons om zelf vuur te maken met spullen uit de natuur. Heerlijk genoten van wat te eten en drinken. Ondanks dat we niet het noorderlicht hebben kunnen zien vanwege de bewolking was het een geweldige excursie en zou ik zeker iedereen aanraden!! We hebben enorm genoten van de mooie natuur en de gezelligheid met de gids(en) en het naar beneden…”
