WHERE DO I FLY TO?

The best place is Ivalo Airport (30-minute bus ride away from our starting point) or Rovaniemi Airport which requires you to get a 3.5 hour bus to our starting point. Check out our blog for more detailed information on how to reach the starting point.

WHAT SHOULD MY SKIING ABILITY BE?

If you have some previous experience of downhill or cross-country skiing but have yet to discover the adventure and challenge of a multi-day ski touring expedition then this will be perfect for you. Although the techniques and equipment have much more in common with cross-country skiing than with downhill skiing it helps to have some experience being on skis before.

WHAT IF I'VE NEVER SKIED BEFORE?

Don’t worry the style of skiing we do here in Finland is very unique, not many have done it before. It’s a style of cross-country skiing which we will teach you the basics on the first morning and you will improve as the trip goes on. You just need a good level of fitness and a will to try and learn a new skill.

WHAT IS THE FOOD LIKE?

The food will be basic and homemade, and everything we cook will be vegetarian. We try to use as many natural ingredients as possible and we make sure we give you a taste of local Finnish food. You will be well fed during the trips and we make sure we are providing enough calories to fuel you during our adventure. Please remember we are in the Arctic so we do our best with the options that are available to us. If you have any dietary requirements please let us know beforehand.

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE? 

Yes, travel insurance is a must. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance to cover you for all aspects this trip, including cancellation.

CAN I COME ON MY OWN? 

Yes, our trips are perfect for solo travellers so this is perfect for you to join like-minded people.

HOW FIT DO I HAVE TO BE?

You need to have a good level of fitness and be used to moving for 5-6 hours a day (so it is ideal for hikers who want to challenge themselves in the Arctic conditions) You will take turns pulling a sled weighing 25kg and skiing from 10-15km a day. Some days are more challenging than others so be ready for an adventure.
