Guided Snowshoe Hike in Kemi

Kemi is a picturesque town situated along the coast of Bothnian Bay in northern Finland. It is located within the Lapland region, close to the Arctic Circle, and experiences typical Arctic conditions. On this snowshoe hike in Kemi, you'll explore its stunning winter landscapes!

The snowshoe hike in Kemi begins at the meeting point, or with pick-up from your chosen location. The expert guide will greet and drive you to the starting point in the wilderness outside of Kemi. Upon arrival, you'll get equipped with warm Arctic gear and the snowshoeing equipment (snowshoes and poles). The guide will go through a safety briefing and instructions for the activity. Once everyone is prepared, you'll start the snowshoe hike in Kemi! You'll set off into the pristine nature of Finnish Lapland, traversing snowy hills, taiga forests, and frozen lakes.

During the trip, you'll also get the opportunity to try some other winter activities! If you wish, you can go tobogganing or kick sledding. Tobogganing involves sliding down a snowy hill or slope on a flat, sled-like vehicle without runners. Kick sledding, on the other hand, is a unique form of sledding where the rider propels the sled forward by pushing off with one foot, while the other foot remains on the sled. It’s somewhat like a snow scooter and is particularly popular in Scandinavia.

After your thrilling sledding excursion in Kemi, you'll continue to a frozen lake for an ice fishing adventure! This is another optional activity, the guide will provide the equipment and teach you the techniques. After drilling a hole in the ice, you'll have access to the fish swimming in the waters below. Sit back, relax and take in the tranquil nature while you wait for a catch. After ice fishing in Kemi, a delicious lunch will be served around a campfire. Then, you'll snowshoe back through the wilderness and be transferred to the original starting point in Kemi.
