Description

Experience the magic of Finnish Lapland with this scenic snowshoeing tour at Pyhätunturi. Begin your adventure with a PyhäExpress chair lift ride to the summit of Pyhä Fell, weather permitting, where breathtaking views of Pyhä-Luosto National Park await. This tour is perfect for families and beginners eager to explore the Arctic wilderness safely.

Guided by an expert, you’ll learn how to use snowshoes and discover fascinating tales about the region’s nature, landmarks, and ancient Lappish beliefs. The landscape transforms as frosty snow blankets the trees, creating unique formations known as 'snow monsters,' which are a delight for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Depending on the time of year, you may witness the enchanting colors of a Polar night sunrise or sunset, or even capture rare halos around the sun on crisp winter days. Don’t forget your camera to document the ever-changing beauty of the fells and forests around you.

After your summit adventure, the route descends near Pyhä-Luosto National Park, where you might encounter friendly reindeer at the local paddock.
