About this experience
Back-country skiing is both a fascinating sport and an age-old,
environmentally friendly way of getting around in Arctic conditions.
On our back-country skiing adventure, we use specialist skis that represent the newest innovation in Finnish wilderness exploration. These skis enable us to move away from known tracks and head directly into the deeper snow.
The tour is guided by a professional photography guide who will share his knowledge in landscape and nature photography, so you can get the photos you desire. Expect some unforgettable landscapes and opportunities for photography! If we get lucky, we might also encounter some wildlife.
During this journey in nature, we will find a place for us to build a fire and prepare some light snacks on the open fire.
