Rent equipments for snow walking

I will visiting Saariselka on February and planning to Urho Kekkonen National Park Trails. Is there any shops can rent equipment for snow walking e.g snowshoes for walking on deep snow? Thanks.

Hi

There are many equipment rentals around Saariselkä. You find easily what you need. Here info:

www.saariselka.fi/index.php?id=8_80%26la=en

Here one option:

On my mind skis for deep snow skiing could be better choice as snowshoes but you can try both.

Here more information about park:

BTW

There can be cold that time ;-)

Thanks Pertti, this is first time for my wife to go to place below freezing point, hopefully she can handle it :-)

You can rent both outdoor clothing (overall, woolen socks, shoes, gloves or mittens and hat) complete set 10 €/24 h and snow shoes 12 €/24h from Top Safaris by Tunturihotel. more www.saariselka.fi or www.topsafaris.fi

Thanks for your info! Actually I thinking to rent the snow shoes to do half to one day wallking on Urho Kekkonen National Park from Saariselka in February, do you think it%26#39;s ok for us as a beginner for snowshoeing?

You can take a marked trail in national park by yourself or take a guided tour 1,5 h- 3,5h. Beautiful scenery!!
