Snowshoe Walk in the Winter Woods of Inari with a local biologist

Our snowshoe walk takes you into the ancient woods along lakes and mystic mires. The forest we see belongs to the oldest forests in Lapland. First, we drive from village Inari about 20 min to our home. On the way, we can see the beautiful landscape of the lake Muddus, the wilderness area Muotkatunturi and the river Kettujoki (weather permitting). We live near the wilderness area Muotkatunturi which is like a “second living room” to us. Our place is tranquil; we even cannot see the lights of our nearest neighbour. Upon arrival, you get to know more about our home and lifestyle in the Arctic, where bushcraft skills are part of everyday life.

During the snowshoe walk, we observe possible animal tracks and nearby feeding birds. By mid-February or early March, we start looking for the first Pine Grosbeaks to return. Before transfer back to Inari, we enjoy an open-fire hot drink and local snacks in our kota.

What’s included?

Please note

We walk on paths and in the snow at a slow pace. Our route rises on a small hill nearby. You do not need any previous experience with snowshoes. The walk takes about 1½ hours. Please, see the video about correct winter clothing on our Activities site. For example your shoes need to be large enough, your socks should be non-cotton socks (at least two pairs) and you should wear many layers of clothing according to the prevailing weather conditions.

Children must be accompanied by a parent.

We guide in English and Finnish. However, we can also help in  German.
