Guided winter hikes, and traditional sauna in Rovaniemi.
Welcome to Woodland Tours
Finnish family business dedicated to sharing the authentic spirit of Rovaniemi and the peaceful rhythms of life in Lapland. Our passion is simple: to guide guests into the quiet beauty of the Arctic and to introduce the traditions that make Finnish culture so deeply rooted in nature.
All our tours and sauna experiences are designed for small groups of up to four people, ensuring every moment feels personal, unhurried, and tailored to the people joining us. This intimate approach lets you experience Rovaniemi the way locals do: quietly, respectfully, and with room to breathe.
On our guided winter hikes, you’ll explore pristine landscapes shaped by snow and silence. Frozen wetlands open into wide, bright Arctic vistas; snow-covered forests reveal hidden tracks of wildlife; and the fresh Lapland air brings clarity that stays with you long after the journey ends.
Our wood-fired sauna experiences invite you into a different kind of warmth, the timeless comfort of Finnish tradition. The crackle of burning wood, the gentle rise of steam, and the calm glow of the sauna create a quiet space to relax after a day outdoors.
Whether you join a hike, a sauna visit, or a combination of both, our goal is always the same: to give you a genuine encounter with Lapland’s nature and culture. Woodland Tours offers you a moment of connection to the land, to the season, and to the peaceful pace of Rovaniemi itself.

We are a family living in Rovaniemi, surrounded by the forests and quiet landscapes that inspire our tours. Life in Lapland has shaped who we are, outdoorsy, curious, and endlessly grateful for the nature just beyond our doorstep.
Miikka, the father of our family, leads the forest hikes and nature tours. His connection to the wilderness is woven into his daily life, and guiding guests through Rovaniemi’s landscapes feels more like introducing friends to his backyard than leading a formal excursion. He makes sure each adventure is safe, engaging, and meaningful — whether you’re walking across a frozen wetland at sunrise or stepping into a heavy, snow-covered forest for the first time.
Whenever the schedule allows, the rest of our family joins the excursions too. Our children love the outdoors, and their natural enthusiasm brings an extra sense of joy and authenticity to the experience, especially for travelers exploring Lapland with kids of their own.
By choosing to explore Rovaniemi with us, you’re stepping into an experience shaped by our family’s love for Lapland—its landscapes, its traditions, and the quiet magic that fills even the coldest winter day.
