Backcountry Skiing Adventure

Ski off the beaten track into Lapland's snowy wilderness

Rovaniemi3 hours Easy

Operated by Beyond Arctic

Learn the basics of backcountry skiing and photograph untouched Arctic forests, with sausages grilled over an open fire.

Cross-country skiing is a fascinating sport and an age-old, environmentally friendly way of getting around in Arctic conditions. On this tour you learn the basics and enjoy a photography trip through the wilderness.

Special skin-based skis let you leave the known tracks and glide straight into the deep snow, far from the usual tourist spots.

After skiing and photographing, stop at a wooden shelter to grill sausages over an open fire. A professional photographer guides the tour and shares tips on landscape and nature photography.
