Northern Lights Snowshoe Hike

Discover the magic of Northern Lights on our guided snowshoe hike near Kirkenes! Each evening, depending on weather and visibility, we choose the best route – away from artificial lights and deep into the quiet, snow-covered wilderness. Equipped with snowshoes and poles, we hike through the peaceful winter landscape in search of the perfect spot to watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky. Our experienced guides will share fascinating insights about the Aurora borealis and the surrounding nature. During the tour, we’ll pause to enjoy hot drinks and snacks around a crackling campfire.

No prior snowshoe experience is required — the pace is relaxed, and the activity is suitable for beginners. With small groups (max. 7 guests), this tour ensures a personal and immersive experience.
