Highlights
Leave the lights of Ylläs behind and snowshoe up Kesänki Fell under the Arctic night sky, in a small group with a local expert guide. We walk through snowy forests and climb to just below the top, where the view opens up over the fells and the dark Lapland sky. Along the way, your guide shares stories about the Arctic environment, winter life and wildlife. We then warm up by the fire in a traditional kota with hot drinks and a sweet Lapland treat. Keep an eye on the sky: on clear nights, the Northern Lights may dance above the fells.
