XCD Skiing in Ivalo

Head out on a guided XCD skiing trip through the winter landscapes around Ivalo. This is a fun and accessible way to move across snow, combining the ease of snowshoeing with the glide of skis.

XCD skis are sometimes described as “sliding snowshoes”, but in practice they are versatile touring skis designed for varied terrain. They work especially well in hilly landscapes, where conditions can change between forest sections and more open areas.

After a short introduction, you’ll be ready to head out and explore. Your guide takes you through snowy forests and up to gentle hills, where the scenery opens up around you. The pace is adjusted to the group, so you can keep it relaxed or add a bit more tempo depending on how you feel.

XCD skiing is an enjoyable and slightly playful way to move in winter terrain, offering both stability and smooth movement even when snow conditions vary.

Along the way, we take a break to enjoy hot drinks and a small snack before continuing the journey. Winter forest hiking doesn't get much easier or more beautiful than this!
