About this experience
Step into the Arctic night and explore the Finnish wilderness on snowshoes. This 4-hour evening adventure from Levi takes you far from town lights, where the silence of the snowy landscape meets the vast starry sky. Guided by an experienced local, you’ll trek through forests and open areas, pausing to admire constellations and, if lucky, the Northern Lights dancing above.
Everything you need, thermal suits, snowshoes, and poles, is provided, so you can focus on the Arctic night: walking through snow and admiring the stars. Your guide offers stargazing and photography tips, and midway, enjoy a warm drink, biscuits, and a fresh local sandwich.
To enjoy Levi to the fullest, we suggest renting thermal clothing during your whole stay, both for safety and comfort. Professional photos are included.
Peaceful, adventurous, and atmospheric, the Night Star Walk offers a quiet journey through snow, stars, and the magic of Lapland’s wild winter sky.

Detailed itinerary

We begin with a scenic drive of up to one hour, leaving the lights of Levi behind as we head deep into the Finnish wilderness — the perfect setting for star gazing.
2
Upon arrival, we put on our snowshoes and set off on a peaceful walk through the snow-covered landscape, surrounded by silence and Arctic darkness. If the weather conditions allow, the sky opens above us — filled with stars and, with a bit of luck, the magical Northern Lights.

After our time in the wilderness, we make our way back through the quiet Arctic night and enjoy a comfortable drive back to Levi, arriving with warm memories of an unforgettable evening under the stars.
