Classic Wilderness Skiing in Pyhä-Luosto National Park

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. Exploring Arctic forest was never so easy and effortless!

CLASSIC WILDERNESS SKIING IS AVAILABLE BOTH IN PYHÄ AND LUOSTO, LAPLAND

What’s included

• Guiding and storytelling
• Use of Altai skis, ski poles and other gear, such as gaiters

Attention

The Classic Wilderness Skiing Tour lasts 2,5 hours. 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.
