Welcome to White Creek Wilderness

Escape the ordinary and step into a world of absolute silence, raw Nordic beauty, and authentic Lappish lifestyle. Located just 25 km from Ivalo, on the peaceful shores of Lake Nangujärvi and right at the gateway to the Tsarmitunturi Wilderness Area, White Creek Wilderness offers an exclusive off-grid sanctuary.

Set on an old historic reindeer farm homestead with a private 2-hectare plot, you will find total privacy—with no neighbors and no artificial streetlights. It is the ultimate destination to view the dancing Northern Lights straight from your bed in winter, or to experience the mystical Midnight Sun in summer.

  • Authentic Living: Sense the history in the wood-planked walls and enjoy a true Finnish cottage experience.

Rent Snowshoes and Poles

14.1.2026 13.34

There are plenty of snowshoes on the market. For a newbie it might be a bit difficult to tell the difference other than the price. Most snowshoes are quite small to be used on deep and untouched snow. On the trails that have been previously walked you are sometimes better off with your normal shoes, because what happens on the trails that are daily used, the snow compresses and packs hard and even becomes icy.  But when you really want to go off the track to virgin snow you need big enough rackets to support your weight. The bigger the rackets the better they hold you on top of the snow. With inadequate snowshoes you'll sink deep in the snow and the walking gets tough.
