    Description

    Not a snowshoe nor a traditional long back country ski – but a cross-breed with best of the both worlds. A wide, short, agile ski makes it easy to travel across thick snowfields. No previous skiing experience required for enjoying gliding across the puffy snowfields. Exploring Arctic forest was never so easy and effortless!

    CLASSIC WILDERNESS SKIING IS AVAILABLE BOTH IN PYHÄ AND LUOSTO, LAPLAND

    Included

    Guiding and storytelling

    Use of Altai skis, ski poles and other gear, such as gaiters

    Hot berry beverages

    Excluded

    Warm clothing & winter boots (rental price €30 / per person)

    Please note

    The Classic Wilderness Skiing Tour lasts 2,5 hours. Wilderness skiing does not require earlier experience in skiing.

    From Rovaniemi, the closest airport and Santa Claus’ headquarters, it takes approximately two hours by car or by Skibus to reach us in Pyhä (Hotel Pyhätunturi) or in Luosto (Lapland Hotel Luostotunturi).

    Altai ski is a short, easy-to-use forest ski that combines the best features of a snowshoe. With a partial climbing skin integrated into the base, the ski climbs with ease. The skin also makes the ski slower and easier to control than traditional skis. The ski’s short, wide design makes it incredibly maneuverable, ideal for thick woods and variable terrain, a truly all-purpose backcountry tool.

    Kindly note that 10% of the price of your tour is non-refundable. The 10% will be used to cover fees connected to your booking such as credit card transactions and other administrative charges. Refunds will only be issued to the card used to purchase the tour.

    Essentials to pack for an activity

    Suitable personal clothing for winter weather including warm boots, hat and gloves or mittens. Please consider bringing some snacks like nuts or chocolate (caution: keep chocolate in a pocket inside of your jacket, otherwise it will freeze). Complimentary hot berry beverages included.
