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...”

Ylläs: Forest Hike with Snowshoes

10.Forest Hike with Snowshoes

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 27 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $101

You’ll leave Ylläsjärvi with an English-speaking guide, learn snowshoe basics, and walk 2 to 3 kilometers through boreal forest to a frozen marsh.

“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.”
