Ski Trekking under the Northern Lights

There is no better way to explore untouched parts of the 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 own track in the deep snow where no-one has been before you! The tour is designed to get a good chance to observe Northern Lights if they appear; your guide will take you up a hill or across swamps, looking for nice viewpoints toward north, where the auroras are coming.

Backcountry skiing is a great way to explore remote areas covered in deep snow. Unlike skiing practiced on groomed trails, backcountry skiing allows you for a more adventurous trip through hilly terrains, forests and lakes.

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 how to use the skis. Refreshments and a typical Finnish snack will be provided around the 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).
