WINTER TOURS SNOWSHOEING IN ROVANIEMI LAPLAND

The latest snowshoes make walking on deep snow a very enjoyable winter activity.

 

Snowshoes are designed to make it easier for you to navigate snowy trails and mountains. This special footwear allows for better “flotation”, which is a feature that stops you from sinking too far into the snow.  Scandinavian Travel Group can introduce you to different types of snowshoeing in Rovaniemi, Lapland.

 

If you plan to wear snowshoes in Rovaniemi, Lapland, no experience is necessary. Unlike high-speed skiing or snowboarding, you can master snowshoeing quickly and easily because you are going at a walking pace. If you can hike, you can snowshoe. The difference is simply the shape and style of footwear. Modern snowshoes are lightweight and comfortable. However, you do need to be reasonably fit to make the most of your snowshoeing experience. If you are comfortable walking for an hour or so, you should have no problem snowshoeing.

Tips for snowshoeing in Lapland

 

  • 1. Joining a guided tour is a good idea, especially if you never tried snowshoeing. The Scandinavian Travel Group will introduce you to a local guide on a special tour. If you are not with a guide, plan your route and tell someone when you leave and where you are going.
  • 2. Snow poles can help support you when snowshoeing uphill or off the beaten track.
  • 3. Wear appropriate clothing. Thermal layers are recommended. Although you will warm up while snowshoeing, you will quickly cool down whenever you stop for a break or a refreshment.
  • 4. Check the weather forecast before you go snowshoeing in Rovaniemi, Lapland. Ideally, you want settled weather and blue skies to make the most of your experience.
  • 5. Snowshoe specs are useful when it comes to choosing the most appropriate pair of snowshoes. It takes into consideration your weight and the type of terrain you will be walking on.
  • 6. If you are sticking to flat terrain, you don’t need an expensive pair of snowshoes with crampons for traction.
  • 7. If you are planning to tackle mountains in snowshoes, look out for a more robust binding system that will support the more challenging slopes. Spring-loaded suspension and a heel lift can also make uphill walking easier.
