Forest Skiing Tour (Half day)
Enjoying the peace of the forests on skin-based skis
The skin-based skis - or gliding snowshoes as some call them - are the most quiet method to get into the snowy nature. The sparkling, glittery snow hardly makes any sound when we glide through the landscape and admire the peaceful atmosphere of the Arctic winter. The occasional little up- and downhills add a little extra fun to the day but it's not too difficult. You don't need to have skied ever before to try this.
We take you to our favorite places in the southern part of the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. We share some stories about the local nature and animals but also about the Lappish lifestyle. This is an enjoyable tour where surrounding nature and calming atmosphere is the thing. Around halfway we’ll have a break with warm juice and a small snack.

Full-day on Snowshoes or Forest Skis

The group may choose between snowhoes and skin-based skis (also known as forest skis and gliding snowshoes). The regular snowshoes enable us to approach the tops of the fells whereas the skin-based skis are often much smoother in the powdery snow below treeline. Both are great options and our guides are happy to recommend the most suitable equipment for the day's adventures.

Freeride Ski Tour
A guided tour to the most beautiful off-piste runs of the area
On our backcountry ski tours we enjoy the rugged beauty of the fells at our "backyard". The most important thing is not the steepest and deepest slopes but the touring itself in the pristine areas. Obviously, if the conditions on the windy fells allow, we aim at finding great snow wherever it may hide that day. Thanks to our strong local knowledge finding some soft turns is not a mission impossible even on the windiest crust days.
We start the day by getting familiar with the equipment and basic skills. Soon we start touring up the fells while also familiarizing ourselves with the area, snow, ski technique and snow safety issues. At a suitable spot we enjoy a light lunch to keep the energy levels up.
Safety is priority number one: We avoid avalanche terrain and focus on the safe, gentle slopes.
Total duration: app. 5–6h
Price: 150€/person (excl. ski and snowsafety equipment), 210 € (incl. equipment)
Note: Good skills in downhill / alpine skiing is a must. No prior ski touring experience needed.
