Highlights

Strap on your skis and dive into the untamed wilds of Lapland with a Backcountry Skiing Adventure in the Taiga Forest departing from Rovaniemi for a day of pure Arctic exhilaration. Set out from the city’s edge into the vast taiga, a sprawling realm of snow-smothered pines and rolling hills where the silence is as deep as the powder. Guided by seasoned experts, you’ll glide off the beaten path, carving your own trail through pristine forests and frozen fells. Hear the crunch of snow underfoot and the whisper of wind as your soundtrack. It’s a raw, immersive plunge into nature’s winter embrace, perfect for thrill-seekers with a taste for the uncharted.


Your journey begins with a short transfer from Rovaniemi, gear in tow. Skis, poles, and boots are provided before you step into the wilderness. No groomed runs here; the taiga’s natural terrain offers gentle slopes and open glades. It's perfect for seasoned skiers to adventurous first-timers. Pause midway to refuel by a crackling campfire, sipping hot berry juice and nibbling Finnish snacks as your guide shares tales of the forest’s secrets—perhaps even spotting reindeer tracks or the flicker of a fox. This 4-hour escape, complete with round-trip transport, fuses physical challenge with the serene beauty of Lapland’s backcountry, leaving you with a skier’s high and a story to tell.
