Ski Trekking Safari in Lapland

Summary

There is no better way to explore untouched parts of the Arctic nature than backcountry skiing! As your professional guide will take you straight into the Taiga forest, you will get the chance to enjoy some of the breathtaking scenery of Lapland using backcountry skis and leave your own track in the deep snow where no-one has been before you! Backcountry skiing is a great way to explore remote areas of Lapland. Unlike alpine skiing or cross-country skiing, that are practiced on groomed trails, backcountry skiing allows you for a more adventurous trip through hilly terrains, forests and lakes. Like snowshoeing, it does not require much practice to get used to the techniques and slide on deep snow. This makes it very comfortable and easy to use, even for beginners! Your guide will choose a location that best fits the level and the needs of the group. They will also teach you some safety instructions/techniques how to use the skis on fresh snow. Refreshments and a typical Finnish barbecue snack will be provided around an open fire. This ski tour lasts 3 hours, including transportation from/to Rovaniemi, barbecue snack and the skiing time (around 1h - 1h30 depending on your level).
