2.Winter Snowshoe Full-Day Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 57 reviews · from $176

Spend about seven hours exploring snowy forests and frozen lakes outside Stockholm with a guide such as Tigo, Eric, or George. You’ll learn snowshoe technique, Swedish wildlife, and outdoor skills, then cook and eat an organic lunch by a campfire. Snow conditions may mean using ice grips instead.

“BOOK THIS TRIP REGARDLESS OF SNOW!! Being from Australia, we were initially disappointed to not get snow for our tour, but it turned out to be a highlight of our trip regardless! We saw unique and beautiful landscapes, pestered our patient and magnificent guide with many questions, ate delicious Fika, and learned many new skills. We went with a 9 year old and she had an absolute blast.”

3.Snowshoe in a Winter Forest

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 40 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $146Top rated

Join guide Anders of Outdoor North 67° for an easy 2 to 2.5-kilometer snowshoe walk through Swedish Lapland near Kiruna. Search for animal tracks, hear about Sami culture and local wildlife, then warm up with homemade berry juice and Kangoskaka by a campfire. Equipment and central Kiruna pickup are included.

“Anders was an excellent guide through the Forest, his knowledge of both nature and wildlife was fascinating. He could point out all the different animal tracks in the snow and speculate on their behaviour too. Likewise, his knowledge of the natural environment we were in was equally fascinating on the tree plantation, the undergrowth and indeed Kiruna itself. I came away not only enjoying the snowshoe walk (which was not arduous) itself but also so much more informed.”

“It’s one of those once in a life time experiences. I really enjoyed the hike, despite being tired. We also walked on two lakes, which was very scary but our guide managed to help all of us and even take pictures and videos while we do so. The soup we had was very delicious as well!”

5.Snowshoe up a Mountain

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $146

Join local guide Anders for a 2.5-hour, 3 to 3.5-kilometer snowshoe hike above Kiruna’s tree line. You’ll follow animal tracks, learn about Arctic nature, and pause at the summit for hot local berry juice and perhaps homemade cookies. Pickup, snowshoes, and a headlamp are included.

“We really enjoyed snowshoeing and seeing the sunset from the top of the mountain. Anders went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time, including bringing homemade berry juice and cookies. We could tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. The walk itself is fairly easy but would be difficult to do independently. We definitely recommend this tour! (Bonus points: Anders learned the names of all the local animals in Italian. We were so impressed!)”

“Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit mit Henrik! Das Wetter war aufgrund des milden Winters nicht perfekt. Hendrik hat die Tour deshalb verlegt und wir konnten dort eine super Zeit verbringen. Neben Snacks und warmen Getränken erhielten wir viele tolle Informationen über das schwedische Outdoorleben. Man merkt einfach, dass Hendrik liebt was er tut und genau das macht diese Aktivität so empfehlenswert. Equipment ist sehr modern und hochwertig. Auch Sonderwünsche (Drohnenbilder) waren kein Problem. Danke Hendrik ! Englisch: We had a great time with Henrik! The weather wasn't perfect due to the mild winter.
