Join a beginner-friendly introduction to backcountry skiing around Ylläs. From Äkäslompolo, we head into quiet snow-covered forests and across a frozen lake, away from prepared tracks and crowds. You’ll learn how to move, turn and travel on wide, stable skis designed for soft snow, with your guide introducing the equipment and keeping the pace easy throughout. The terrain is gentle, with forest paths and open snow rather than long or demanding climbs. In three hours, you’ll get a genuine first taste of backcountry skiing in Lapland, and maybe discover your new favorite way to move in the Arctic landscape.
