A fantastic winter experience. Great team. Highly recommended.Posted on Pierre CastoriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely fantastic snowshoeing tour. The entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Our local guide Johanna was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the region. Throughout the tour, we learned so much about the surrounding nature, wildlife, local herbs, and traditional Lappish culture and way of life. It really added depth to the experience beyond just the activity itself. The scenery was breathtaking, and the pace of the tour was perfect, allowing us to fully enjoy the peaceful winter landscape. As part of the tour, we also stopped at a cozy café where we enjoyed traditional fish soup and delicious smoked fish. The person running the café was very welcoming, which made the experience even more special. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Ylläsjärvi area.Posted on Barret SoniaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un immense merci à toute l’équipe de Northwind Lapland pour ce séjour exceptionnel, parfaitement organisé du début à la fin. Tout était au top, et nous repartons avec des souvenirs inoubliables gravés à jamais. Une mention toute spéciale à Jean-Philippe , pour sa disponibilité, sa gentillesse et sa proximité avec ses hôtes. Toujours à l’écoute et très arrangeant, il a tout mis en œuvre pour nous offrir les meilleures chances d’admirer les aurores boréales, et cela a vraiment fait toute la différence. Merci encore pour cette expérience magique que nous recommandons les yeux fermés !Posted on Roland MittlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
