Mystical Forest Walk

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

Pull on your snowshoes and come for a hike beneath the old pines. Snow changes this forest completely: branches grow heavy, familiar shapes turn curious and each step takes us a little deeper into the winter landscape.

We’ll show you how to get moving, then follow a route through the snowy trees together. You don’t need to have tried snowshoeing before. There’s time to find your rhythm, enjoy the walking and look up at the wonderful shapes overhead.

Along the way, we’ll gather around a fire for grilled sausages and hot berry juice before continuing our hike. Fresh air, snow underfoot and a forest full of character—sometimes the best adventures begin with a pair of snowshoes.
