4 hours

Moderate

Head out to the true Arctic wilderness on Altai skis and let Mother Nature remind you what life is all about.

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 and is more thorough experience than the Classic option. 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.

In Pyhä, we offer pick-up service from the following locations:

  • Kurula's Resort
  • Northern Lights Village Pyhä (at the front of the restaurant)
  • Sunday Morning Resort
  • Lucky Ranch - Saloon (at the front of the restaurant)


Note: Pick-up from Pyhä locations starts 15 minutes before departure. If there are many customers at different pickup points, it is important to arrive on time and wait patiently for your own ride.

What's included?

    Guiding and storytelling, Altai skis and ski poles for the tour, hot berry beverages, the regional favourite, and a light yet nutritious meal by a bonfire, in the forest.

    Exclusions
      Please note

        Wilderness skiing does not require earlier experience in skiing.

        From Rovaniemi , the closest airport and Santa Claus’ headquarters, it takes approximately two hours by car or by Skibus to reach us in Pyhä (Hotel Pyhätunturi) or in Luosto (Lapland Hotel Luostotunturi).

        Altai ski is a short, easy-to-use forest ski that combines the best features of a snowshoe. With a partial climbing skin integrated into the base, the ski climbs with ease. The skin also makes the ski slower and easier to control than traditional skis. The ski’s short, wide design makes it incredibly maneuverable, ideal for thick woods and variable terrain, a truly all-purpose backcountry tool.
