Arctic Daylight Snowshoe hike - to Ovi Raishin - Amazing Troms
Snowshoes are a fantastic way to experience the spectacular Arctic daylight, which forms only deep within the Arctic Circle during winter. We take you on a snowshoeing trip in the beautiful Reisa Valley.
Through snow covered forests, over frozen rivers and close to Reisa National Park. In fact, all the way to the door of Reisa National Park – Ovi Raishin. Ovi Raishin means "the door to Reisa National Park" and is a spectacular hand-built village, but also the visitor center for Reisa National Park and the Reisa Valley. Here you will find a lot of interesting information, exhibitions and a fantastic viewpoint. See the frozen Reisa River that snakes its way up through Reisa National Park in the distance. In Reisa Valley and especially this area there is a lot of moose. We will have a strong focus on scouting for moose, finding moose tracks and trying to observe them.
At Ovi Raishin we will make use of the panoramic cabin "falcon nest". We light fires in the camp and enjoy ourselves in front of the fireplace, with a striking panoramic view overlooking the mighty Reisa Valley. Here we will serve hot drinks, local snacks and if desired lunch.
Our snowshoeing trips are suitable for most people, as our modern snowshoes are easy to use. If you can go, you can take part in our snowshoeing trips. We show how the snowshoes are used in conjunction with techniques for easier walking. We provide all equipment necessary.
