Your guide leads you out of Rovaniemi on backcountry skis, into pristine Lapland wilderness chosen for its good chances of spotting the Northern Lights.
No groomed trails or specialist boots needed — backcountry skiing uses skins on the base of the skis for easy uphill and downhill travel, and is comfortable even for complete beginners.
Your guide gives safety instructions and basic skiing techniques, then lights a fire for a halfway stop with a typical Finnish campfire snack and stories about the Northern Lights and Arctic life.
The tour lasts 3 hours 30 minutes in total, including transport and 90-120 minutes of skiing, and runs in any weather in groups of up to 8.
