What to expect during Scenic Caves Nordic Centre snowshoeing

“Listen for sounds of local nocturnal wildlife as you’re guided along under a moonlit sky. On a clear night, explore constellations or wish upon a shooting star,” shares the experience’s website. Sounds pretty cool, right?

You’ll be provided with everything you need including knowledgeable guides, trail passes, snowshoes and headlamps.

Once you’ve finished your hike, the group can return to the lodge, relax by the fire pit and enjoy a hot beverage – a perfect way to end a truly special evening.
