Would you like to try the most popular sport in Finland?
Do you love combining fun and fitness with adventure?

Back-country skiing, also known as forest skiing, is both a fascinating sport and an age-old, environmentally friendly way of getting around in Arctic conditions. On this tour, we will teach you the basics of this wonderful winter sport and enjoy a photography tour through the wilderness area. We travel away from the crowds and head towards more quiet places and the wilderness to enjoy and photograph the beauty of Arctic nature.
WHY CHOOSE THIS TOUR?
On our forest skiing adventure, we use specialist skis that
represent the newest innovation in Finnish wilderness exploration. These
skis enable us to move away from known tracks and head directly into
the deeper snow. Owing to their composition and skin-based material,
they provide us unlimited access to the endless, snowy hinterlands of
Lapland. Expect some unforgettable landscapes and opportunities for
photography! If we get lucky, we might also encounter some wildlife.

We
start the journey at our meeting point in Levi by preparing the skis.
Then we are ready to drive towards our selected spot in the nature by a
minivan. During this journey in the nature, we will find a place for us
to build a fire and prepare some light snack on the open fire. There
will also be some warm drinks to enjoy, helping us stay warm even on the
coldest of days.

The tour is guided by a professional
photography guide who will share his knowledge in landscape and nature
photography, so you can get the photos you desire. We go to a carefully
selected location to experience the true authentic Arctic nature.

What to expect?

Meet in Levi to prepare the skis, then travel by minivan to the selected nature location. The route leaves known tracks and heads into deeper snow using specialist skin-based skis.

During the trip, the group stops to make a fire, prepare a light snack and enjoy warm drinks. The guide shares landscape and nature photography knowledge along the way. Wildlife may be encountered, but no sighting is promised.
