Explore Pyhä-Luosto National Park on Altai skis

This four-hour wilderness skiing tour takes you into the taiga forests of Pyhä-Luosto National Park using short, wide Altai skis. The tour can start in either Pyhä or Luosto, and no previous skiing experience is required.

What to expect?

Not a snowshoe nor a traditional long back country ski – but a cross-breed with best of the both worlds. A wide, short, agile ski makes it easy to travel across thick snowfields. No previous skiing experience required for enjoying gliding across the puffy snowfields.

Premium Wilderness Skiing Tour lasts 4 hours. The tour can and will be tailored based on the clients’ request. Guide will give a knowledgeable presentation about the Arctic nature and the old Lappish beliefs.

Premium Wilderness Skiing Tour is available both in Pyhä (Pyhätunturi) and Luosto (Luostotunturi), located just a mere 20 km from each other in Lapland. They both offer an easy access to the Pyhä-Luosto National Park’s gorgeous taiga forests. You will be asked during the booking process whether you want to start the Premium Wilderness Skiing Tour either from Pyhä or Luosto.
