Vahtamapää summit tour on back-country skis

This tour takes us to the summit of Vahtamapää fell in Urho Kekkonen national park.

On the tour we use back-country skis that are longer and wider than normal cross-country skis. These skis carry you better on the deep and soft powder snow.

We start from our office which is located directly on the border of the national park. We ski through the pine forests and birch bushes to the open fell areas and eventually to the summit of Vahtamapää. The top of Vahtamapää is 480m high and the elevation gain from the village is around 200m. Depending on the conditions and your wishes we follow our tracks back to the office or we choose a completely new route on the way back.

Along the way we stop for some warm drink and snacks.

The price includes guidance in English, equipment, and snacks.
