Winter activities

Strangely, people go skiing, dog sledding, snowmobiling and ice fishing in the depth of the polar night, in December and January. The motivation is a glimpse of that frail, beautiful dance on the night sky, the Northern Lights! You will be surprised to see that you get about safely. The bright winter, from February until late April, is the time for longer ski and dog sledding treks. The coolest set, though, are the off-piste skiers who spend a day climbing a 1000 metre mountain and 15 minutes skiing down.
