Weather and clothing

Finland goes through four seasons each year. When temperatures easily vary from -30C to +30C during the year, you have to be prepared for each season with certain clothing. The prices of clothes are relatively high in Finland, so it is recommended to pack with you suitable clothing.

If you have booked safaris from us, you will receive warm clothing from us when your first safari starts. You can keep the clothing throughout your stay.

Underneath you should wear your own thermal layers. The colder the weather, the more layers you’ll need. Too much is considered a better option than too little, especially on less active safaris like husky and reindeer rides or snowmobile safaris.

For those safaris that include campfire coffees or lunches, we recommend to wear our overall, to keep your own clothes safe from the sparks and ashes.

For more active snowshoeing trips it’s more comfortable to wear your own ski clothing.

We will provide you:

  • overall
  • boots
  • gloves
  • woollen socks
  • helmets for snowmobile safaris (please return the helmet after each safari)
