Full description
There is no better way to explore untouched parts of Arctic nature than ski trekking. Your professional guide takes you away from Rovaniemi, straight into the Taiga forest where you get the chance to explore some of the breathtaking scenery of Lapland using back-country skis. Trekking skiing, also called back-country skiing or off-piste skiing, is a great way to explore remote areas of Lapland covered in deep snow. Unlike alpine skiing and cross-country skiing which are practised on groomed trails, back-country skiing allows for a more adventurous trip through hilly terrains, forests, and lakes. As the skis are equipped with skin, they allow you to go both uphill and downhill without excessive speed. Like snowshoeing, it does not require much practice to get used to the gears and to the techniques to slide on deep snow. This makes it very comfortable and easy to use, even for beginners. Your guide chooses a location that best fits the level and the needs of the group, before providing you with safety instructions and teaching you some techniques on how to use the skis on fresh snow. Refreshments and a typical Finnish campfire snack will be provided halfway, as your guide lights a fire to keep you warm. This is a great moment for you to enjoy the splendid viewpoints and learn more about both Arctic nature and Lapland in general. After your 3-hour experience, your guide returns you to your tour starting point in Rovaniemi.

We had the ski guided by Emilia. We had no experience of skiing before. Emilia took us to a private location, where there was no croud, and the snow was very smooth and soft. She explained us, and guided us very good. We had also BBQ, and enjoyed very much

Great experience, the trek is in a remote & private location on a beautiful frozen lake, the guide Tyler was very nice & we enjoyed some sausages & beverages by the fire inside a typical tipi. The ski trek provides great sensations & is really easy so definitely a beginner friendly activity! Would recommend 100% the activity & the agency! Thanks!

We really enjoyed this experience! We did a lot of different tours while we were in Lapland but overall this was our favourite. It was simple, outdoorsy and really back to nature. It was nice to learn a new skill on the skis rather than just experiencing e.g a husky sled for 45 minutes. Definitely will try ski touring again.
