Snowshoeing with Miquel - Last December we had the opportunity to share our Snowshoeing tour with MIQUEL. We recommend him 100% because he is a professional guide with a lot of experience and he also speaks Catalan-Spanish-English. We really felt part of Lapland! Thanks a million

Fantastic Tour. - My first TripAdvisor review. I review this tour as my family and I had a great experience. Such beautiful scenery and pleasant and knowledgeable guides. We have a teenage boy who was also engaged throughout the walk with beautiful scenery at every glance. The company had suitable clothing available at no extra cost if needed ( we didn’t but I thought it’s worth mentioning). One note It wasn’t strenuous however you will get warmer then your general stroll around town. Thanks for the experience guys!!

Great Afternoon Tour - We booked this tour last minute and were glad we did. Pick up was on time and our guides both named Matao (sorry if misspelled!) were great! It really was a magical experience to be able to snowshoe in such a beautiful setting. The campfire was an added bonus, my son enjoyed cooking a sausage on the fire. The tour was easy and had a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend
