Snowshoe Trip in the Forest

On etait que 2,ma mère et moi ! Le guide nous a dit que c'était exceptionnel, et c'est vrai on a vraiment eu de la chance parce que du coup on a vraiment bien profité, à notre rythme, c'était vraiment cool

Transfer vom Hotel, Organisation sowie Angestellten waren prima organisiert uns sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Vielen Dank an Maria.

My partner and I chose Lapland Welcome for two excursions while we were in Rovaneimi in early March 2019. The first one was a short reindeer sleigh ride, and the second one was this one (snowshoe trip in the forest). I reviewed the reindeer excursion and then had to wait 3 months to review this other excursion (tripadvisor doesn't allow us to review the same place twice in less than 3 months). The snowshoe trip in the forest was great! My partner and I were again the only guests on this tour so it felt like a private tour again (may not be the same for others depending on time of year and luck). We met with our tour guide, Kira Rokx, at the Lapland Welcome office, and we drove to the starting location of the snowshoe excursion. It was actually really good conditions for snowshoeing. The top of the snow on the ground was kind of hard and crunchy on top of a thick layer of fluffy snow below; and it was sunny outside. During the snowshoeing, Kira would tell us about the different animal tracks in the snow, areas around the base of trees where reindeer have been foraging, and the different vegetation that reindeer like/need to eat that can be seen in the forest. We had a break at a large teepee tent, which had a firepit on the inside to make food such as sausages, hot chocolate/coffee, etc. We also saw some local Finns in the area (but not many) enjoying the outdoors. One man stopped to say hello to us and we talked for a little bit. It was a very lovely excursion and we definitely got our exercise in :)
