“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...”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 35 reviews · 2 hours · from $108

Walk about 2.5 kilometers through snowy forest near Apukka Resort with an English-speaking guide such as Jakub or Erwin. Snowshoes, winter clothing, transfers, and a hot drink are included. Expect a relaxed but active outing, nature facts, quiet woods, and some effort on uneven snow.

“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...”

“The location was about 30 mins from the office, where we met. It was a nice, beginner-friendly hike, even kids could do it. We went to a tipi, where we had options, either stay there with the tour guide or go for a walk (I choose this). The forest is beautiful with the trees covered in fresh snow. I recommend wearing waterproof shoes and skiing pants because sometimes we sank deep into the snow. After we went back to the tipi, where the guide prepared hot chocolate/tea and sausages at the fire (they had vegetarian option too). The tour guide was very friendly, and also told us some interesting informations…”

Our guide Timo did a great job teaching us many things about survival and orientation. We all learnt how to start a fire with the tool, while the other couple also caught a fish. So many things are included in this adventure that you get a full taste of the arctic life. We recommend it.”
