“It was an amazing experience with a really caring guide! You really feel special while going around the tailor-made trails, in fact you brake trails yourself. Totally suitable for first-timers, considering your endurance isnt a problem and you are rather fit. You get to know the real Lapland with this. Not gonna lie beyond -20C degrees it gets a little challenging but for sure it is worth it, hand and foot warmers are a must.”

“This experience was perfect for a beginner like me. Everything was explained clearly from the very basics before actually trying to ski. It was so much fun, and I didn’t expect skiing to be this enjoyable. Merja, my guide, was incredibly patient and kind, explaining everything step by step and making me feel comfortable the whole time. I truly loved the experience—it was fun, encouraging, and very memorable. Highly recommended!”

“Fabulous half day trip! All of us were first timers - our guide explained everything clearly, had a smile on his face the whole time and continuously checked on everyone - each going at our own pace. I’ve only been skiing twice and didn’t actually like it. I booked this as my partner wanted to try cross country and I’m so glad I did. The track has grooves in it which your skis slot into, making it so much easier than downhill skiiing. I can’t recall our guide’s name but he was originally from Chile and was super patient with all our group. We had a great time and wouldn’t…”
Backcountry skiing in Lapland near Rovaniemi with provided gear, a private small group, barbecue by the fire, and quiet Taiga tracks.
“The guide was very nice and friendly but also inexperienced. I believe winter is a peak season and companies hire just anyone to conduct the tour. We went with ski to a lake which was slushy and one participant fell into a hole. Then guide wanted to take the group to forest but failed to guide us there. So all in all, it was more of a checklist crossed but wouldn't suggest this tour.”

“Kyle was a consummate professional from start to finish. He checked the forecast and offered to change me to a daytime tour since Northern Lights were unlikely (though I kept the nighttime tour). He picked me up and dropped me off at my accommodations and ensured I was aware ahead of time of any gear I needed to have (and what gear he would have). He was personable, accommodating and very patient (my first time trying cross-country skiing!). The scenery was incredible, and Kyle went out of his way to include certain touches to make the tour unique and ensure that I enjoyed myself. Definitely recommend!!”

“What a brilliant experience, our tour guide was so helpful and friendly. The experience took us skiing through the wild and the views were beautiful.

“If you come to Rovaniemi/Lappland I can only recommend you this tour !! It was such a great experience and so much fun. Giacomo is a very nice and kind guide. We walked through the forest at night and I felt completely safe with him. During the walk through the woods we took short breaks and he explained about the things we saw around us. The food we got was also excellent (the vegetarian as well as the traditional Finnish sausages) and sitting in the tent by the fire was also a beautiful experience. We were provided with proper boots, headlamps and the skis. We would’ve gotten overalls but we…”

Backcountry ski trekking from Rovaniemi with pro gear, a small group pace, and targeted Northern Lights viewing points in Lapland.
“It was my first time skiing but the guide put me at ease and guided us through the paths and woods. It was both exhilarating, nerve racking at first but I’d definitely do it again. The comfort of the group definitely helped with the nerves. Sausages & hot chocolate round the camp fire was the perfect warming break and pick me up. The group and tour guide were friendly, relaxing, helpful and very informative about the educational side of the Northern Lights. An all round amazing trip that will be a life long memory and a treasured experience.”
