Snowshoeing is one of the most authentic ways to explore Lapland’s winter wilderness — and Vikaköngäs, a protected nature reserve north of Rovaniemi, is the perfect setting. With Arctic GM, your adventure here becomes more than a hike — it’s a heritage-rooted Arctic experience.

As Lapland’s Original Aurora Hunters™, our family has lived here for 20 generations since the 1600s. Trusted by over 50,000 guests worldwide, Arctic GM is one of Lapland’s most respected tour companies. We keep groups small (max 8 guests), operate fully in-house, and provide certified, first-aid trained guides who share both safety and stories from Lapland’s nature.

Your tour begins with pickup from your accommodation in Rovaniemi in one of our brand-new 2025 Ford Tourneo 4×4 vans, complete with heated interiors, leather comfort, and extra legroom. At Vikaköngäs, your guide provides snowshoes, poles, and clear instructions so even beginners feel confident.

Step into the silence of Lapland’s wilderness as you trek across snowy forests and frozen lakes. Along the way, your guide shares knowledge about Lapland’s flora, fauna, and cultural traditions. The scenery is pristine, the pace relaxed, and the atmosphere unforgettable.

Midway, pause at a scenic spot to light a fire. Warm up with hot drinks and grilled sausages by the fire — a Lapland tradition that completes the experience. Afterward, continue your snowshoe trek before returning to Rovaniemi with memories of a true Arctic adventure.
