What To Expect
Ski touring is an easy ski discipline designed to let you glide on deep snow off the beaten tracks or groomed trails. The backcountry skis (called in Finnish, “sliding snowshoes”) are equipped with a skin allowing to both hike uphill and slide downhill; they are equally used for long Arctic expeditions or shorter day tours into wild nature. They are the perfect equipment to get to beautiful elusive places that you cannot reach with cars or on foot.
Your guide will drive you away from Rovaniemi to some elusive nature area where you can explore a bit of Lapland forests and hills with Altai skis. The tour is designed to let you enjoy
a great ski experience, while discovering the taiga forests. As you slide down on deep snow, your guide will also explain you more about your surroundings and arctic nature.
The tour will be adapted to the level of the group with different terrains and difficulty options.
