【Traveling in Finland 公主背包客。芬兰极圈篇】Levi snowshoeing night tour。翻滚吧!Levi雪鞋夜间探险

It was my last night with my baby in Levi. Levi Tourist Office arranged the snowshoeing night tour. I'm still remember wanting to try this activity when I searched the snowshoeing activity. Levi Tourist office made my dream come true again.

Lapin Luontoelamys company picked us up in front of the Levi Tourist Office at 19:00. Participation fee: 70 € /person, children under 12 years 35 €/child. The fee includes snowshoes, poles, gaiters, catering, hot drink, sausage and guidance. The guide speaks English and Finnish. It takes approx. 2.5 hours. You need to bring the wind- and waterproof clothing, gloves, warm hat, shoes suitable for trekking. Reservation on previous day by 6 p.m. [email protected] or +358 40 716 3033. You also can book your tour in the Levi Tourist Office. Group size: at least 4 people.

There were 6 people included me in the night tour to Levi. The van took us to the Levi summit. We wore the snowshoes and took the poles then started the snowshoeing night tour. It was my first time to wear the snowshoes. It was a little big and you needed to put your shoes in the snowshoes. Remembering to tie it up then walk. It makes you much easier to walk on the snow.

We climbed upwards for a bit after we had equipment. Everyone walked a little faster than me. I walked slowly, because I was concerned with my pregnancy. I couldn't see very well in the night. I was thinking that maybe I should bring my headlight, it would make me feel safe. I was excited to do the snowshoeing hiking in the night. We need to climb upward and walked down the slope and we went through the forest. It was a real adventure for my baby Aurora and me. The tour guide asked us to followed his steps to keep us safe. I was a little bit tired. It is a good exercise when you wore the snowshoes climb the mountain. It was especially easy to get tired in my condition.

On the way down we visited a Lapp hut. You need to take off the snowshoes once you enter the Lapp hut, otherwise you will slip.

There were 2 staff members there to welcome us. They prepared the open fire, hot drinks and self-grilled sausages.

I felt so warm. I was happy to enjoy my drink and self-grilled sausage. It is the Finland traditional treat in such excursions.

We had a group photo. There was an African girl who was working there. I admired her for working here, because she was from a tropical country.

Our tour guide.

Everyone enjoyed the open fire and listened to the stories about Lappish life and culture.

After getting warm in the hut we headed outside to continue our snowshoes hiking. We enjoyed the Levi nocturnal view. It was a little bit exciting we couldn't see the route very well and we went through the forest. Sometimes we slipped in the snow. If you are lucky, you will see the northern lights during the night tour. We were not lucky on that night.

Snowshoeing is a great way to experience Levi, Finland. I'm highly recommended this activity. You can choose to do the snowshoeing tour in the day or the night . You will have totally different experience. The walk itself was a lot of fun, just I worried about my baby so I couldn't enjoy it very well.

Lapin Luontoelamys company staff were very kind and nice. They took me back to the hotel.

I didn't have much of a chance to take many photos on this trip. This video will let you understand more about the snowshoeing tour. You will see the different view from the top of the Levi summit.

Thanks Levi Tourist Office arranged me the snowshoeing night tour in Levi. My baby Aurora and I had a fantastic experience to explore the Levi night by snowshoes.

这是Una和肚中的极光宝宝待在Levi的最后一晚，Levi的观光单位帮Una安排这个雪鞋夜间探险的活动。还记得出发前，查询芬兰雪上活动的时候，对雪鞋活动跃跃欲试，没想到会在Levi实现了这个愿望。

晚上七点在Levi的游客中心前等待，Lapin Luontoelamys公司就会有专人开车接送。Levi雪鞋夜间探险的费用为70 € / 每位，12岁以下小孩 35 € / 每位，整个行程约2.5小时。这个行程提供:雪鞋、雪杖、热饮、香肠和向导。这个行程没有提供雪衣，所以自己要做好保暖的工作，衣服、外套、手套、帽子、袜子、鞋子都要穿得保暖点。预定这个行程，最晚必须在前一晚的六点前写e-mail到[email protected]或打电话到+358 40 716 3033订购，也可以到Levi游客旅游中心预定此行程，如果预定日期的订购人数未满4人就会取消。

当天参加的人数加Una总共有6位，车子载我们到山顶上，然后每个人穿上雪鞋和拿著雪杖就开始准备出发了。这是Una第一次穿雪鞋，就是把鞋子塞进很大的雪鞋里，记得要扣好再行走，雪鞋下面为锯齿状，帮助你在雪地中行走，比较不会滑倒。

穿著雪鞋就上山了，大家走路的速度有点快， Una倒是比较谨慎，毕竟刚得知怀有身孕。Una的夜间视力不太好，所以跟著向导跟紧紧的，不过这个向导走路真的有点快，可能已经很熟悉地形了，毕竟在完全没有灯的夜晚上山，自己觉得应该要戴头灯的，会比较有安全感。第一次穿著雪鞋在夜间上山，是真的满刺激的，有时候脚步会陷得比较深，感觉有点可怕，向导也是叫我们紧跟著他的脚印走，比较不会让走入陷得太深的地方。

上山走了一段路真的觉得满累的，因为踏在雪地里行走，又穿著重重的雪鞋，其实还满耗体力的，加上怀孕一开始本来就很容易累，还好后来就到一个拉普兰小木屋休息。进小木屋就要把雪鞋脱掉，不然会滑倒。

一到小木屋就有他们的工作人员已经在里面等我们，有温暖的炉火、热饮和香肠。

进到小木屋里，身体都暖和起来了，还有热饮和自己烤香肠吃，真的多少可以恢复一点体力啊!

里面有个来这里工作的非洲女生，我真的觉得她真的太强了，从超级热的地方跑到北极圈来工作。

我们当天的向导。

大家围著炉火，就开始聊起天来，向导也说了拉普兰区的萨米文化，大家很认真的在听。

稍作休息后，我们就走入森林区准备下山，没有任何的路线标志，就只能跟著向导在林子里穿梭的走。走到山头的某个位置，可以看到Levi的夜景。其实还满刺激的，视线不佳下，注意眼前还要注意脚下，还好后面还有还有另外一个向导会确保每一位团员的安全。行走过程中会在雪地滑倒和摔倒是正常的。

如果运气好的话，就可以在这个雪鞋夜间探险看到极光。我们那天运气不够好，所以没看到极光，这个雪鞋夜间探险行程是满难得的经验，能够穿著雪鞋上下山，并在森林里穿梭。未来有机会到芬兰Levi的朋友，千万不要错过此活动。这个行程本身是很有趣的，只是当时Una怀有身孕的状况，会比较小心翼翼。

这间公司的服务人员态度都很好很亲切和送Una回饭店。

后话：Una在参加此行程前，并不清楚行程内容是甚么，想说就是穿著雪鞋健走一下。后来到了现场才知道，原来是要穿著雪鞋上下山，还要穿越森林。本来想说这没甚么难得倒自己的，但重点是那时Una刚得知有身孕，加上夜间视力不好，走在雪地的每一步都是战战兢兢的。这次的夜间探险，Una在雪地摔了几跤，还有屁股坐在雪地上滑著下山，雪都跑进衣服里，当时很担心会影响肚中的胎儿的安危。极光宝宝在我肚子里，陪我在雪地里打滚、摔跤和滑倒好几次，最后都还好有紧紧地跟著妈咪，幸好当初怀孕前身体有调养好，不然后果真的不堪设想。所以这次雪鞋夜间探险，真的是冒著极光宝宝的生命危险参加的。所以在这里Una也要特别敬告，有身孕的女生请不要参加雪鞋夜间探险。若真的要参加雪鞋活动可以选择白天的，但也请考量自己的体力和身体状况，因为老外走的速度真的比较快，毕竟怀孕的时候，身体是比较容易累和敏感的。(当初Una并未告知Levi观光单位自己已怀孕的事情，所以才安排这雪鞋夜间探险活动，也意外让Una跟极光宝宝有了第一次在雪地翻滚的经验。)

(Levi Tourist Office制作的影片，穿著雪鞋探索Levi。)

此行程Una没拍太多照片，因为要两手握雪杖，还要跟上大家的脚步。Una这里放Levi官网的雪鞋影片，让大家比较能体会芬兰的雪鞋活动，这也是除了滑雪之外的另一种雪上活动选择。加上Levi滑雪场著名，上山能看到到的景色也会很不一样，穿雪鞋会在雪地摔倒和滑倒是必有的过程和乐趣。

感谢Levi观光单位安排招待此次的雪鞋夜间探险行程，让极光宝宝跟Una有了第一次在雪地翻滚探险的难得经验。最后再次感谢Levi观光单位职员热心又专业的安排Una此次在Levi的旅行和住宿，让Una实现了哈士奇狗雪撬和雪鞋探险的活动，又参观了冰屋酒店和当地的玻璃屋酒店，也享受当地第一名的餐厅。不得不赞叹这里的雪景真的太美了，又有很多小商店可以购买纪念品，让Una和极光宝宝在Levi有著美好的回忆。Una在此次的芬兰行，也感受芬兰人的友善和热情，很希望下次能再带著极光宝宝旧地重游，下次她就不用在妈咪肚子里翻滚啦!
