THE EXPERIENCE
Your day in the north.
Which side of Ylläs would you like to discover on foot? Our half-day snowshoe hikes have three very different characters: the fell scenery of Kesänki and the Pirunkuru ravine, Kukas with its snow-sculpted trees, or the rocky gorge and wooded lake surroundings of Äkässaivo.
Whichever route we take, we’ll get moving together, following our guide through the snowy terrain. There’s time to find your walking rhythm, look around and enjoy the details that are easy to miss when you’re travelling faster. A white-cloaked pine, an opening in the forest, the shape of a gorge—each route has its own rewards.
A break for sausages and cloudberry cakes is a welcome part of the outing. Then we’re off again, with more winter scenery to enjoy before we return. A half day well spent in our snowy backyard.
