A MEMORABLE NIGHT IN THE WILDERNESS!
Discover the beautiful winter landscapes of Lapland on a ski trekking adventure! Your guide will lead you to the peaceful cottage area located 45 minutes away from Rovaniemi. Together, you’ll explore the snowy forests and a frozen lake, following a route carefully adapted to the group’s level. This ensures that everyone can enjoy the adventure at their own pace.
A TRADITIONAL CABIN EXPERIENCE
After your ski tour, you will arrive at a traditional wooden cabin nestled in the wilderness. In Finnish, such a cabin is called a “mökki”. It’s more than just a place to stay, it represents relaxation, connection to nature, and a retreat from the stresses of modern life.
Although the cabin has no running water or electricity, it stays warm thanks to its cozy fireplace, and the beds offer a restful night’s sleep. Nature around you provides everything you need to disconnect and recharge.
The experience also includes a wilderness sauna near the lake, the perfect place to relax after your ski adventure. A wooden pontoon leads directly to the frozen water if you feel brave enough to take a dip! Alternating between the hot sauna and cold water (or air) is not only refreshing but also great for your health. Sauna towels, soaps, birch tar oil and other equipment needed will be provided by your guide (please bring your swimsuit if you need to ; or sauna can also be naked like Finns usually do…). The experience is private and the guide will give you all privacy needed.
As evening comes, your guide will prepare a hearty dinner – a delicious Finnish soup, accompanied by warm drinks and sweet pastries as a dessert. For the night, we provide warm winter sleeping bags and all the necessary equipment to keep you cozy and comfortable in the heart of the wilderness. After helping you settle in and making sure you are fully comfortable, your guide will leave you to enjoy a peaceful evening in privacy.
The next morning, after breakfast in the cabin, your guide will return to meet you, and together you will head back to Rovaniemi
ABOUT YOUR SKI EQUIPMENT
Before the trip, we’ll send you a detailed list of provided gear and what you should bring.
You will be using Altai skis, traditional Lappish backcountry skis also known as sliding snowshoes in Finnish. These skis are easy to handle and glide smoothly over deep snow, both off-trail and on groomed paths. Equipped with skins, they let you hike uphill and slide downhill, making them perfect for long Arctic treks.
Altai skis are compatible with standard winter hiking boots (like Sorel-type boots), so we strongly recommend bringing your own well-fitted winter boots. This ensures they’re already adapted to your feet and comfortable for the full adventure.
