Rovaniemi : Aventure en raquettes à Vikaköngäs & Barbeque
Description
Explorez la nature sauvage arctique à pied avec une expérience guidée de raquettes dans la région de Vikaköngäs, connue pour sa rivière gelée, ses sentiers forestiers et ses paysages naturels. Exploitée par The Original Aurora Hunters®, Arctic GM est une entreprise familiale dont les racines remontent aux années 1600 en Laponie, alliant les connaissances locales à des expériences de plein air en petits groupes. Après le ramassage, vous vous rendrez dans une forêt tranquille loin des zones touristiques animées. Les raquettes vous permettent de marcher facilement sur la neige profonde tout en suivant des itinéraires panoramiques le long de la rivière et à travers la forêt environnante. Le rythme est détendu et adapté aux débutants, avec le temps de profiter de l'environnement, de prendre des photos et d'apprendre sur l'environnement local. Pendant l'expérience, vous vous arrêterez pour profiter d'un barbecue traditionnel de Laponie avec des boissons chaudes.

Arctic nature in all its beauty. A snowshoe excursion through the forest that leads to a viewpoint with a stunning view. Andrew was simply amazing at making sure everyone was comfortable, always keeping the hike fun and interesting! We were so lucky to have him as a guide!
Super fun experience with Andrew! He's amazing. We had so much fun and enjoyed every single step in the snow. He made us experience the Elves' shower ( I will keep the secret) and made the best fire and barbecue to warm us up. He was entertaining and super helpful. Great Andrew!!!
Bruno was a really good guide, and the Tour was very beautyful. Would do again. Also beware of the cold and sudden snowfalls.
Great experience From start to finish the tour was very fun and the surrounding nature was spectacular. Sergio our guide was knowledgeable, very kind and helpful .We could choose our path in freedom and we got lucky with lots of snow.
Super organization, super snowshoe hike in a snowy forest. It was like a fairy tale. Accompanied by two beautiful girls Natalia and Denise who followed and pampered us for the duration of the trip. Not a difficult path but in the end we were happy to sit around the barbecue to savor sausages and chocolate. Good girls, professional and always smiling.
Very bad experience with Arctic GM. About 16 hours before our tour they randomly cancelled it with no explanation. I then had to call them to get additional info - which was still sparse - and it takes up to 15 workdays to get my €200 refund. Very nice to waste people's time on such a short notice. Luckily we could book with a different, more helpful, company and still get our experience. Recommend booking with someone else; there are plenty to choose from.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your tour was cancelled on short notice. The weather and snow conditions changed quickly, making it unsafe to operate. We understand the frustration, but safety must come first. Best regards, Diana The Arctic GM Team
Only the 4 of us on the tour. The guide Alexis was friendly, attentative and knowledgeable. He assisted us with the gear (snowshoes) and also offered additional warm clothing and took as on a easy and challenging route through the forest to a view point and treated us with a traditional baberque afterwards. The tour and company is highly recommended as they are professional from booking stage till the end. They offer a pick up and drop off service directly from your accomodation

Awesome experience with a great tour guide! Pick up was prompt and the forest we went to was so peaceful and beautiful. We were the only people there! The vista outlook was amazing. The only thing I will say is the hike says easy but our group thought moderate was more appropriate. You have to trek uphill in the snow for at least a mile so be prepared but you will be rewarded with gorgeous views and a fun time!

It was a very beautiful and unforgettable walk in nature – simply perfect for relaxing. Our guide was Nikita, a great person. He supported us wherever he could and was always helpful. He took good care of us, and hiking with him was truly enjoyable. He was able to tell us a lot about the landscape and the frozen waterfalls. What stood out to me the most was that, from the very beginning, he said: ‘We are a team now. Everyone should look out for each other and be considerate.’ He kept moving to the front and back, talking to each of us. It was a really wonderful experience, and for that, I sincerely thank Nikita!
