What To Expect

There is no better way to explore untouched parts of Arctic nature than backcountry skiing! As your professional guide will take you straight into the Taiga forest, you will get the chance to enjoy some of the breathtaking scenery of Lapland using backcountry skis and leave your track in the deep snow where no one has been before you! Backcountry skiing is a great way to explore remote areas of Lapland. Unlike alpine skiing or cross-country skiing, which are practised on groomed trails, backcountry skiing allows you for a more adventurous trip through hilly terrains, forests and lakes. It does not require much practice to get used to the techniques and slide on deep snow. This makes it very comfortable and easy to use, even for beginners! Your guide will choose a location that best fits the level and the needs of the group. They will also teach you some safety instructions/techniques on how to use the skis in fresh snow. Refreshments and a typical Finnish campfire snack will be provided around an open fire. This ski tour lasts 3 hours, including transportation from/to Rovaniemi, barbecue snack and the skiing time (around 1 hour - 1 hour 30 minutes depending on your level).

We stayed in Rovaniemi for a week in February 2025 and made several excursions in this agency whose seriousness and quality of services are no longer in doubt. We particularly enjoyed Ski Trekking: a unique experience in a postcard landscape. Change of scenery in sight! Immersed in the nature of Lapland, we felt like we were on another planet! We also had a great meeting in the person of Jade our French guide in this adventure. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the sympathy, dynamism and helpfulness of Jade who also gave us valuable advice for the rest of our Sami tribulations! Thanks again to the whole agency with special attention to Jade who made our experience even more unforgettable!

The guide was very nice and friendly but also inexperienced. I believe winter is a peak season and companies hire just anyone to conduct the tour. We went with ski to a lake which was slushy and one participant fell into a hole. Then guide wanted to take the group to forest but failed to guide us there. So all in all, it was more of a checklist crossed but wouldn't suggest this tour.
Great non “touristy” activity

Such a fun time! I booked this at the last minute and I wanted something outdoors in the afternoon. The tour operator is so professional and the booking was very easy. We absolutely loved our guide - Nick - and we were the only people on the tour. We drive to a forest on private land and went exploring. Cross country skiing takes some skill but mostly a willingness to fall and get back up again. The fire and tea in the hut were really great. I could not have had a better last day in Rovaniemi.
Beautiful and fun tour

We had a wonderful time on this tour with our guide, Gábor. He told us many interesting things about the area, the company etc. The ski trekking was a lot of fun and our small group (4 people) was great. I highly recommend this tour.
