Learn survival skills! From Rovaniemi, your outdoor guide will lead you on a sunset hike to explore the Arctic wilderness! This hiking tour is also educational ; your guide will share their knowledge about Arctic nature, local lifestyle in relation to the environment, tricks on how to survive or make a fire.

This hiking adventure takes you out of Rovaniemi, it provides a great opportunity to discover more of Lapland nature far away from the city.

We organise this excursion from Spring to Autumn so you can experience Arctic nature even without snow. The Midnight Sun period in Rovaniemi lasts from end of May until early July. In July and August, the sun sets for a few hours only, offering equally impressive warm colors and the so-called “white nights”. From September onwards, as the Northern Lights season starts we may spot some on our way back from the sunset hike.

What to expect

From Rovaniemi, your outdoor guide will lead you on a sunset hike to explore the Arctic wilderness. The hike is adapted to the level of the group with different difficulty options, and to the highlights of the season. Even without snow, Lapland is worth discovering!

We offer two different hike options:
– the standard sunset hike: A gentle hike in a great nature area in the Rovaniemi region, with a great viewpoint. The hike is usually around 4-5km and the tour lasts 3h30-4h.

The experience is designed to explore some elusive nature area or reach some viewpoints over the immense subarctic forests. Along the way, your outdoor guide explains to you about your surroundings, the fauna and flora, footprints in the early snow or in the mud, how to use trees or mushrooms, identify the berries to eat, and some other basics of how to survive in such difficult conditions.

A break with an open fire will also allow you to grill a typical Finnish snack with hot beverages. This is a great opportunity for your guide to show you how to build a fire in arcitc conditions and answer all your questions about Lapland.
We operate this tour in small groups only to allow a proper connection with nature.
