BIVOUAC IN WINTER
THE GUIDE'S INVITATION:
"The ultimate experience when you come to the Far North in winter is to retreat to the hushed silence of the snowy boreal forest and spend a night in a tent, and who knows, under a sky illuminated by millions of stars and the Northern Lights. The natural elements that initially seem hostile gradually become our allies in a game that consists of building a camp and a place to live where many unforgettable memories will be created. It is also a time to learn, all together, some bivouac techniques. This adventure is made complete by combining it with a short snowshoeing or backcountry skiing tour, and for 40 euros extra, with a unique sauna time in the wilderness in the Lappitrek's sauna tent."
