Join us for a day of Nordic backcountry skiing in the Lapland wilderness. Our expert guides lead you through the fells while providing information about the local area and wildlife.
Nordic backcountry skis enable exploration outside groomed tracks and are easy to use even for beginners.
The snow-laden backcountry leaves a lasting impression and bringing a camera is highly recommended!
