Responsible choice
Explore Lapland’s winter wilderness on a private tailor-made Altai ski adventure from Rovaniemi. These wide backcountry skis are designed for traveling through deep snow beyond maintained tracks, allowing you to glide quietly through forests and cover more distance than on snowshoes.
Before departure, your guide will introduce the equipment and explain how to move, climb, and control your speed. The route is selected according to your fitness, experience, preferred scenery, and the current snow and weather conditions. Depending on the day, you may explore quiet forests, open winter landscapes, or panoramic viewpoints up to one hour from Rovaniemi.
During the journey, your guide will share information about Arctic nature, animal tracks, and life in Lapland’s winter environment. Stop for a hot drink and snack before continuing through the landscape. The private format allows the pace, distance, and level of difficulty to be adapted to your group.

CAN I BE PICKED UP FROM MY ACCOMMODATION
Pickup is included in the tour price from the standard pickup locations listed below.
You may also meet at the designated meeting point.
To reduce the environmental impact of unnecessary short-distance vehicle transfers, guests staying less than 750 m from the Nordic Odyssey office are required to meet directly at the office. Pickup is therefore not provided within this area.
Pickup is included within 8 km of Rovaniemi centre.
Pickup outside the standard area may be possible for an additional charge. A location on the route to the activity may sometimes be included at no extra cost.
