Glide through snow-hushed forest and across open fells on wide OAC skis – a playful hybrid between cross-country skis and snowshoes, sometimes called sliding snowshoes, designed for stability in varied terrain. Your local guides, Ciara and Susi, lead you along quiet trails in and around Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, away from the busy tracks. The tour covers 4–8 km at a steady, easy-to-moderate pace, tailored to the group and the snow conditions, with time to pause for photos, follow animal tracks and enjoy the Arctic light. Midway we stop for a warm drink and a light snack before skiing back through the snowy landscape. Suitable for guests with a medium fitness level; no previous experience on OAC skis is needed. Small groups of up to 6 guests, ages 14+. Duration 4–5 hours with pick-up in Äkäslompolo, departing at 9:30. Skis, poles, transport, snacks and warm refreshments are included. Season January–April.
