Embark on a two-hour guided sliding snowshoe safari in the nearby forest! Explore the enchanting scenery, enjoy the soothing atmosphere of the pine forest and white snowdrifts. If weather conditions allow, we may also ski onto the frozen Lake Pielinen. This tour is all about great exercise!
We will end the tour with lighting a campfire and enjoying coffee at a wilderness hut. Each snowshoer will also have the opportunity make themselves a campfire pancake! Welcome to experience a great adventure in crisp winter weather!
Before embarking on the tour, you will be equipped with suitable gear (you can also participate wearing your own winter gear) and advised on sliding snowshoe features and technique. Sliding snowshoes combine the best features of snowshoes and forest skis. They offer a good grip when skiing uphill and allow for a bit of speed when skiing downhill. This safari requires a good level of general fitness.
