The backcountry skiing adventure was fantastic and Beyond Arctic were so friendly and efficient when we booked this. Our guide was Oren who is one of the most warm, friendly, funny and thoughtful people I have met. One of our party was celebrating her 40th birthday and afterwards he surprised her with a lovely birthday cake which he had purchased in secret on the way. Skiing through a silent sunny forest on thick snow was breathtakingly stunning and lots of fun and Oren really seemed to enjoy taking lots of photographs which we could then access afterwards to view. We were given time and space to really enjoy the experience, with Oren always being near in case we fell over(only once!). On that note I can say that its fun and easy for people with very little experience with skiing. The whole experience was a real delight from start to finish and I would recommend it to anyone.

Booked this tour a day in advance when I walked into their office downtown. Friendly guy who took my booking and our tour guide Oren was amazing. He helped with our skis and during the cross country skiing he made sure we were all having fun. I thought it would be hard but it was not too strenuous, you go at your own pace.
The bbq and hot blueberry juice at the end of the ski was really enjoyable. Oren explained about the Finnish language, culture & showed us how to start a fire using the dry birchwood and bark. He even prepared vegan sausages (which was not expected) & a couple of people in our group was actually vegetarian/vegans. If you want to melt marshmallows pls ask in advance cos they prepare some for the kids!
Highly recommend this day time activity as it’s about a 3 hour tour and really enjoyable being out in nature and exploring the Lapland country side. Thank you!

Our guide Becky was excellent.
She took us to a forest area outside Rovaniemi and made sure we had the appropriate equipment. She took her time to explain the basics of backcountry skiing -- as a beginner skier, that was specially helpful to make me feel comfortable. And I didn't fall once, which is remarkable considering my record of failed attempts at doing this kind of activity.
The route we took was beautiful and in the end Becky treated us to a barbecue in a forest hut by a frozen lake. She took great pictures of us, and was the perfect guide/company.
Thoroughly recommended!

Becky and Anni did a great job taking us in a small group of 5 back country skiing. The landscape was beautiful, Anni and Becky explained how the ski (a little bigger than snow shoes) work and off we went. We had a great time out and about and finished with a little snack in a cota. We can only recommend Beyond Arctic and especially Becky and Anni as tour guides. We will be back.

This is our first time ski, we absolute loved it! It’s so pretty as you walk into pretty deep forest.
It’s a bit demanding, quite good “ workout” for the first timer. But there is a choice, you could take the short route if you find the long way is too tired.
Oren, Anni and Annika were all amazing. They are very experienced in their own ways. They not only show us the basic ski skills, also told us lots of interesting local facts, culture shocks, climate changes etc. Also recommended some other local activities / places.
And of course, there are lots of pictures were taking, we cannot wait to see.
We felt that they are very proud and interested at what they do. We would highly recommend to anyone come to Lapland.
