Snowshoe Hiking

To hike on snowshoes is a fantastic experience. No matter how thick the layer of snow is, you can get almost anywhere; through forests, on top of packed ice and across bogs. Our guided tours give you a unique opportunity to see the winter magic of Västerbotten. You will also walk away with lots of new knowledge about nature and wildlife.

Snowshoe hiking is suitable for most people. You don’t need any previous experience and you guide will adjust the pace to the group.
