Your snowshoe walk will take you away from Artificial lights to higher ground where you’ll optimise your view of the vast night sky. The Northern Lights are difficult to predict, making their appearance even more special when they are visible. This walk also offers fantastic star-gazing opportunities as well as a chance to experience the absolute stillness and calm of this remote wilderness.
