What To Expect

There is no better way to explore untouched parts of Arctic nature than backcountry skiing! As your professional guide will take you away from Rovaniemi, straight into nature, you will get the chance to explore some of the breathtaking scenery of Lapland using backcountry skis and leave your track in the deep snow where no one has been before you! The tour is designed to get a good chance to observe the Northern Lights if they appear - your guide will take you up a hill or across swamps, looking for nice viewpoints toward the North, where the Auroras are coming.

Backcountry skiing is a great way to explore remote areas covered in deep snow. Backcountry skiing allows you for a more adventurous trip through hilly terrains and forests. Your guide will choose a location that best fits the level of the group. They will provide you with safety instructions and teach you some basic techniques on how to use the skis. Refreshments and a typical Finnish snack will be provided around the fire.

This tour lasts 3 hours 30 minutes, which includes the transportation from/to Rovaniemi and skiing time in the nature (around 1 hour 30 minutes - 2 hours depending on your level).
