THE EXPERIENCE
Your day in the north.
Give yourself a whole day among the fells. Our longer snowshoe hikes take us to Lainio, Pyhä or Aakenus—three different ways to experience the bigger, wilder landscape around Ylläs.
Lainio offers a rewarding climb into the fell scenery. Pyhä has the appeal of the quieter, more remote northern fell, while Aakenus brings a broad fell landscape and the old reindeer herder’s cabin. We’ll follow our guide through forest and onto the chosen fell route, spending a substantial day travelling under our own steam.
A trail lunch helps us along: sandwiches with salmon and reindeer, sausages, or vegetarian alternatives, followed by homemade cloudberry cakes and something hot to drink. Then we shoulder our things and carry on. By the time we return, you’ll have the satisfaction of a proper day’s hike behind you—and plenty to remember when you put your feet up.
