This guided backcountry skiing adventure in the Ylläs area takes you into a different kind of quiet — through pristine snow-covered forests, over open fields and along hidden trails that reveal the raw beauty of Arctic Finland.
Forest skis — wider than cross-country skis and fitted with grippy skins on the base — give you effortless control on gentle ascents and open descents, and your guide will have you comfortable with the technique before the landscape demands anything of you.
Halfway, you stop at a traditional wilderness café for a hearty soup lunch, salad buffet and hot drink, before skiing back towards the village.
Suitable for beginners and experienced skiers alike, with the pace tailored to the group. Minimum age 13, maximum 8 participants.
