Snowshoeing on the fells

Service Description

Paistunturi is a large wilderness area in Northernmost Lapland in Utsjoki. In this 1500 square kilometer large wilderness area, stunning sceneries after another are exposed, as the gentle rolling fells are crossed by deep carved river valleys. From the highest fell tops, you get a great view over the entire wilderness area, as far as to the fells in Norway. Paistunturi wilderness area has only a few marked trails and wilderness cabins. Paistunturi is reindeer-herding area of the indigenous Sámi population, and more than 6000 reindeer graze in Paistunturi area. On our tours, we might see also other wildlife, such as willow grouse, red fox, hare, reindeer, hawks or even footprints of a wolverine. If we see any people, it will probably be a local reindeer herder or a fisherman doing his work. On our tour, you can truly enjoy the silence of the uninhabited and roadless wilderness, safely and guided. From November to April, Paistunturi wilderness area is covered with snow. We use snowshoes to get around on the fells, as otherwise our feet would sink too deep in the snow. Snowshoes are special outdoor gear designed to enable walking on snow. Walking with snowshoes is very similar to normal walking, so using them is easier than skiing. The spikes on the bottom of the snowshoes ease moving up and down on the hills. We have different levels of snowshoeing experiences. This experience is an intermediate level. If you wish for an easier snowshoe hike, please reserve the easy snowshoeing tour. Duration: 3-4 hrs Level: Intermediate What is included: Pick-up max 10 km from Utsjoki village, snowshoes, hot drinks and small snacks, 3-4 hour guided snowshoeing.
