North of the Circle the winter day is short and everything is built around it. The 15 below cover ice domes, reindeer, sledding and the snowshoe hikes between them, priced with pickup points and the months each one runs.
Leave Tromsø by van with a guide such as Adrian or Truls and snowshoe through Ersfjordbotn for about three hours. Expect mountain and fjord views, steady climbs, wildlife tracks, hot chocolate or tea, and occasional playful sliding in the snow.
“It was a great adventure in the snow! A big thank you to Truls who was very professional and bringing good vibes to the whole group!”
Meet host Benedicte at Charlottenlund Park for a guided 105-minute Arctic play session. Sled gentle slopes, try mini-skis and Sami lasso throwing, then warm up with hot drinks, snacks, marshmallows, and reindeer hides by the fire. Snow conditions may add a snowman and northern lights.
“Fantastic guide and well organised. It was so much fun for all ages. The larger slope is steep to walk up but manageable. Kept warm with a fire and even get to toast marshmallows. So affordable and worth it!! You won’t regret it”
Leave Levi with a local guide such as Heli or Pikka for a quiet visit to a working reindeer farm, where you can feed and walk with the animals. Then snowshoe across a frozen wilderness lake, hear about Lapland’s eight seasons, and warm up with pastries, sausages, and hot drinks in a family cabin.
“It was a beautiful experience really authentic vibes and lovely host!! every cent was worth it and i would do it again! they also have tours and activities for the summer and spring. I really enjoyed the whole day and their hospitality was so welcoming ☺️ i recommend 10/10!”
Walk about two hours through snowy forest near Apukka Resort on snowshoes, with an English-speaking guide such as Jakub or Erwin. Learn about Arctic plants, animals, and Northern traditions, then warm up with a hot drink. Transfers and winter gear are included.
“Very fun! Jakub was funny and made the experience so much more worth it. If you’re looking for some light to moderate activity this is it!”
Travel 35 minutes from Levi with a local guide such as Tuikku or Ellen to visit a private reindeer farm, feed and walk a reindeer, try lassoing, snowshoe across a frozen lake, and warm up with sausages, berry juice, pastries, and a hot drink.
“Small group experience with a special thanks to guide Ellen. We enjoyed visiting the farm and the walk on the lake and through the woods”
Join guide and photographer Nico for a five-hour Arctic outing from Tromsø. A 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser takes you toward the best fjord or valley conditions, where you walk or snowshoe for scenic views, soup, hot drinks, and professional photos.
“Having a nice lunch at the summit while enjoying the sunset was a great experience. Also got to pet and cuddle the doggo 🐕. Perfect hike.”
Meet Kyle at a family cabin near Lake Norvajärvi for a 2.5-hour night ski through snowy forest, open swamps, and across the frozen lake. You’ll get skis and a headlamp, hear about Arctic life, and finish by a warm fire with a chance of Northern Lights.
“Kyle was a consummate professional from start to finish. He checked the forecast and offered to change me to a daytime tour since Northern Lights were unlikely (though I kept the nighttime tour). He picked me up and dropped me off at my accommodations and ensured I was aware ahead of time of any gear I needed to have (and what gear he would have). He was personable, accommodating and very patient (my first time trying cross-country skiing!). The scenery was incredible, and Kyle went out of his way to include certain touches to make the tour unique and ensure that I enjoyed myself. Definitely recommend!!”
You’ll snowshoe through deep Lapland snow with a guide such as Rafael or Paolo, then gather around a fire for grilled sausage, hot drinks, and gingerbread. Expect a gentle three-hour outing with hotel pickup, nature stories, and a hands-on flint-and-steel fire lesson.
“Nuestro guia Paolo ha sido excepcional!!! Nos ha explicado muchas curiosidades sobre la naturaleza y vida en Laponia. Nos ha encantado la actividad y Paolo ha sido super atento y amable. Recomendado 100%!!! 😊”
Join certified guide Kevin for a 3.5-hour beginner-friendly Nordic ski tour in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. Ski quiet forest trails, cross snowy open areas, and stop at a Kota shelter for grilled sausages and hot drinks. Clear skies may bring Northern Lights.
“Merci Kevin pour cette randonnée inoubliable. On en a pris plein les yeux. On recommande vivement ce guide très posé, calme et passionné.”
Leave Rovaniemi by van for a four-hour snowshoe walk through snowy Lappish woods, past frozen water and quiet trails. Your English-speaking guide, such as Maikel, Antoine, or Patrick, provides gear, adjusts the walk to the group, and cooks reindeer burgers over an open fire.
“It was a really nice place with lots of snow. We hat a very nice guide and much fun.”
Meet your Norwegian or English-speaking guide at Narvik Town Square, then ride into the mountains for an easy three-hour snowshoe walk. You’ll use supplied snowshoes and poles, pause at scenic photo spots, and take an evening route suited to Northern Lights viewing. Bjorn is one guide praised for local stories and mythology.
“Great experience, all the more so thanks to fascinating and passionate guides.”
Leave Tromsø by minivan with an English-speaking guide such as Samuel, stopping for Arctic views before a two-hour snowshoe hike. Walk quiet, snowy trails, enjoy sandwiches, biscuits, and a warm drink, and receive professional photos from your guide.
“Great tour and day out. It was well organised, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable and I liked the smaller group size, making it more personable. The snowshoeing was fun and the views were incredible. Tasty lunch before walking back down. Highly recommend! :)”
Join guide Nico in a private 4x4 for five hours around Tromsø’s fjords and valleys. Depending on weather and snow, you’ll walk, hike, or snowshoe to scenic viewpoints, then warm up with soup, hot drinks, and free professional photos.
“We spent an incredible day in Sommarøy with Nicola, and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of our trip. Nicola is a very experienced guide who really knows the area well—he took us to places we would have never found on our own.”
Meet your Norwegian and Swedish guides at Clarion Hotel The Edge for a four-hour Arctic outing near Tromsø. You may snowshoe through deep snow or switch to spikes when conditions change. Expect mountain and fjord views, a hot drink, chocolate, and Tim, the guides’ friendly German Shepherd.
“Sadly not enough snow for snowshoes so went for a hike instead.. They took us out of town for about 20 minutes, we parked up, put a set of spikes on our shoes and up we went. Two amicable guides, one Norwegian the other Swedish and a German, a German Shepherd that is, named Tim. Beautiful scenery, clean air, reasonably easy trek, a nice hot drink with a slice of chocolate at the top. Good times.”
Travel 20 minutes from Rovaniemi to the Arctic Circle Wilderness Lodge, strap on traditional snowshoes, and follow a guide through snowy Lappish woods. Expect 1.5 to 2 hours of moderate walking, then a campfire break with hot chocolate and sweet rolls. Pickup and drop-off are included.
“Guide was great and experience was fun but not worth the money paid. We essentially put some metal shoes on and went on a 30 minute walk which would have been more reasonable should it have been 20 - 30 cheaper.”
