Join WalkingWomen on a female-only tour of Sápmi

Walk. Connect. Revive. And do it all with a group of like-minded women. To celebrate 25 years of supporting female-run businesses worldwide and exploring lesser-known regions in some of the most compelling destinations on Earth, WalkingWomen is offering one lucky female reader a spot on its seven-night Arctic Finland tour (excluding flights), which departs in March 2026.  

Guests will chase the northern lights across the vast wilderness of Sápmi (formerly Lapland) and immerse themselves in the culture of the semi-nomadic Sámi people, who have lived on these lands and tended to their reindeer here for generations. Based on the edge of scenic Lake Inari, you’ll meet the reindeer herds, visit a museum on Sámi culture and get the chance to hear a talk by Sámi women on their culture and history. You’ll also take in everything that this frozen Arctic wilderness has to offer. 

March offers the last great month for seeing the northern lights ripple across the night sky, and WalkingWomen has aurora camps dotted around the shore of the lake. These offer pitch-black skies and perfect conditions, far from any light pollution, for sighting this wonder. This trip of a lifetime is certainly for active travellers who aren’t afraid to get the heart racing. Guests are offered the option of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and husky mushing. 

 Barrelling through the pines, pulled on a sled by a team of dogs, is truly a once in a lifetime experience. But it’s the serene, snowy landscapes that steal the spotlight. 

Pocked with traditional wooden cabins and reindeer farms, the fells and forests here give Inari a genuinely wild feel. 

Experience it all in the company of a local guide, who will introduce you to regional delicacies, the Sámi people and their customs. What better way to explore the Arctic?
