Description

Experience the wonderful winter sport, cross-country skiing in the arctic backcountry. Exploring the arctic nature by skis offers great opportunity for nature photography.
Cross-country skiing is both a fascinating sport and an age-old, environmentally friendly way of getting around in Arctic conditions. On this tour, we will teach you the basics of this wonderful winter sport and enjoy a photography tour through the wilderness area. We travel away from the crowds and head towards more quiet places and the wilderness to enjoy and photograph the beauty of Arctic nature.

On our cross-country skiing adventure, we use specialist skis that represent the newest innovation in Finnish wilderness exploration. These skis enable us to move away from known tracks and head directly into the deeper snow. Owing to their composition and skin-based material, they provide us unlimited access to the endless, snowy hinterlands of Lapland. Expect some unforgettable landscapes and opportunities for photography! If we get lucky, we might also encounter some wildlife.

We start the journey at our meeting point in Levi by preparing the skis. Then we are ready to drive towards our selected spot in the nature by a minivan. During this journey in the nature, we will find a place for us to build a fire and prepare some light snack on the open fire. There will also be some warm drinks to enjoy, helping us stay warm even on the coldest of days.

The tour is guided by a professional photography guide who will share his knowledge in landscape and nature photography, so you can get the photos you desire. We go to a carefully selected location to experience the true authentic Arctic nature. After the cross-country skiing experience we will head back to our meeting point in Levi and organize drop-off to accommodations if needed.
