Snowshoers on Jyppyrävaara, with a great view of Lake Ounasjärvi and the Ounastunturi Sanctuary in the background

Snowshoeing in Scandinavia

Photo: Rami Valonen, Metsähallitus 
Deeply snow-covered forests, absolute solitude and endless landscapes under a low sun make snowshoeing in the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway and Finland a true winter fairytale. You can choose between flat landscapes with light beech forest, the gentle hills of the fjord landscape, frozen rivers and lakes, or a challenging route up the steep slopes of the mountains. No matter which route you choose, snowshoeing in Scandinavia will leave you thrilled!
