Description

Embark on an unforgettable wilderness skiing adventure in Pyhä-Luosto National Park, nestled in the heart of Finnish Lapland. This unique activity lets you glide effortlessly across pristine, untouched snowfields using special wide and agile skis inspired by the traditions of the indigenous Forest Sámi people.

Your journey begins at the designated meeting point in Pyhä, where a friendly local guide greets you and provides all necessary equipment. Unlike classic cross-country or snowshoeing, these hybrid skis make traversing deep Arctic snow easy and enjoyable, even for beginners. No previous skiing experience is needed.

Accompanied by your expert guide, you'll venture deep into the enchanting Arctic Taiga forest. As you explore, learn fascinating tales about Lapland's nature and culture, making your experience both educational and immersive. The tranquil surroundings ensure a peaceful escape from the ordinary.

The tour includes ski equipment and guiding, but does not cover personal expenses or meals. The adventure typically lasts a few hours, allowing ample time to soak in the breathtaking winter scenery and master the basics of wilderness skiing in a safe, supportive environment.

Spaces for this authentic Lapland experience fill quickly, especially during peak winter months. Secure your spot now and discover the magic of skiing through Pyhä-Luosto National Park's snowy wonderland!
