Lapland Backcountry Skiing Excursion from Rovaniemi

Explore the remote Finnish wilderness on an enjoyable backcountry skiing excursion from Rovaniemi. Welcoming adventurers from ages 10 and up!

Rovaniemi is the capital city of Lapland, located in the north of Finland. Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, the region experiences snowy winters and Arctic conditions. The city also features wilderness areas where you will find mountains, lakes and forests. Backcountry skiing is a fascinating sport that has its roots many years ago as a way to access the snow-covered wilderness. This sport is an environmentally friendly way of getting in touch with nature. During your skiing adventure, you will get off the beaten path and right into the deep snow.

The excursion begins at the meeting point in Rovaniemi (pick-up is available from specified locations upon booking). You and your group (a maximum of 8 participants) will meet your experienced guide. The guide will give a safety briefing and introduction to backcountry skiing, before you receive your equipment. The specialist skis you will use represent the newest innovation in Finnish wilderness exploration. Owing to their composition and skin-based material, you will be able to ski easily through the deep snow.

Then, you will travel by minivan to a secret location hidden in the woods near the city, ensuring privacy and exclusivity. You set off skiing in the remote forest, gaining access to the endless, snowy hinterlands of Lapland! During the day, you'll take a break in a wooden shelter where, together with the team, you'll build a campfire and enjoy some grilled sausages. The tour is guided by a professional photographer who will also take some pictures throughout the day. These pictures (around 10-15) will be sent to you a few days after the activity to keep forever. The guide will also share knowledge about landscape and nature photography, helping you to capture your own photos as well. After, you will ski back to the starting point and return to your original pick-up location.

This backcountry skiing excursion is an amazing opportunity to explore the pristine nature of Rovaniemi. Book your next unforgettable adventure in Finnish Lapland now!
