I recently had the opportunity to go on a cross-country sport experience with my partner, and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the adventure was well-organized. Our guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience, always paying close attention to our needs. This was one of the best outdoor activities I've done in a long time, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and fulfilling adventure. If you're considering trying cross-country sports, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

It was an incredible experience . Our guides Reetta and Lauri were super nice. We are a family with kids and we are beginners but our guides were very patient and always in the best disposition to make us enjoy the tour ! Also, they provided all the equipment we needed

We had an amazing experience of cross country skiing for the first time. Our guide was very friendly, informative and tailored the tour well to suit more experienced skiers alongside a beginner group. Would recommend!

Fabulous half day trip! All of us were first timers - our guide explained everything clearly, had a smile on his face the whole time and continuously checked on everyone - each going at our own pace. I’ve only been skiing twice and didn’t actually like it. I booked this as my partner wanted to try cross country and I’m so glad I did. The track has grooves in it which your skis slot into, making it so much easier than downhill skiiing. I can’t recall our guide’s name but he was originally from Chile and was super patient with all our group. We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Cancelled on us at 11:20pm when we were to do it 10am on the following morning. Luckily we got booked with a much better tour provider. Wouldn’t recommend unless you want to gamble on your holiday activities bookings. No apology either.

Our guide Tuija gave us beginners a great introduction to Nordic skiing. Highly recommend! The three hour tour is sufficient to get a good idea of the sport.

After a pick up from our hotel, our guide for the day, Reeta, took us to the main office to make sure we had all the equipment and clothing we would need for the day. We were very fortunate to be the only ones on the excursion and Reeta couldn't have looked after us better. She drove us to the nearby track and after a quick introduction we were off into the beautiful forest. We had a slight issue with ski poles which Reeta quickly addressed and put right. Reeta also checked in with us all at regular intervals as we all have different fitness levels and happily took photos and videos for us throughout the day. We stopped for lunch in the middle of the forest at a firepit where we had a huge range of food (meat and vegetarian) to try. This was accompanied by delicious hot berry juice or tea. After we were all well fed we continued on the track back to the minibus. We were a little concerned fitness wise how we would cope with a full day, but Reeta allowed us to go at our own pace and it is certainly an activity we look forward to doing again in the future. An unforgettable day with some great pictures and videos.
