Unforgettable tour!😇🔥
We went on a ski hiking tour yesterday, and it was an excellent experience and a great way to try something new. What truly made the tour special was our guide, Atanas 🤩🔥 He was professional, friendly, and very attentive. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and capable throughout the hike, and he created a relaxed and positive atmosphere for the whole group. The grilling break was delicious, and thanks to him we got to try something new 😍🤩 especially the carrot bread, which was a great surprise 😇 Even though the tour took longer than expected and we finished later than planned, despite him having another group afterwards, he remained fully engaged and kept the great atmosphere until the very end. After we got into the car, he noticed the Northern Lights appearing and invited us back out to take photos, which was an unforgettable moment 🥹🥹🥹🥳🥳🥳 Overall, a highly memorable tour and an experience we would absolutely recommend! thanks to an outstanding guide ATANAS!♥️ Ameer & Anwaar

What a fun experience!
It was so much fun! We would love to do it again. The guide was really nice. We were in the forest and the views were amazing.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your positive feedback and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us! We hope to welcome you back in Rovaniemi in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland

Inexperienced guide
The guide was very nice and friendly but also inexperienced. I believe winter is a peak season and companies hire just anyone to conduct the tour. We went with ski to a lake which was slushy and one participant fell into a hole. Then guide wanted to take the group to forest but failed to guide us there. So all in all, it was more of a checklist crossed but wouldn't suggest this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Shan, Thank you for taking the time to write this review about your Ski Trekking Safari with Wild About Lapland. I am sorry to hear that this experience did not meet your expectations. All our guides are trained and qualified for their roles. While we acknowledge that some guides may have less experience than others, our internal investigation indicates that your guide instructed the group to follow her as she navigated through the lake. Unfortunately, one participant did not follow this recommendation and fell. Further investigation reveals that the guide offered assistance to the participant and had to slightly adjust the original plan for the tour, resulting in an outcome different from what was initially intended. Despite this, we take your concerns seriously and want to assure you that we have implemented measures to improve in this area, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for our guests. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to email us at partners@wildaboutlapland.com. On behalf of the Wild About Lapland team, I apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a much better experience. Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.
Is Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
