The "Snowshoeing In Finland" trip starts and ends in Basecamp Oulanka. It is a northern lights tour that takes 8 days taking you through Ruka, Basecamp Oulanka and Oulanka National Park in Finland. "Snowshoeing In Finland" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

In the heart of the Finnish wilderness is the beautiful Oulanka National Park, a vast expanse of snow-laden pine trees, frozen lakes and waterfalls. There is no better way to explore this stunning setting than by strapping on a pair of snowshoes and heading out to break new trails.
