It’s a fascinating and environmentally friendly way to move in deep snow through the Arctic forests and rugged areas. We will teach you the basics of this wonderdul wintersport and take a photography tour through the Arctic wilderness. The adventure is guided by professional photographer who makes sure that you have all the time necessary to enjoy and photograph the snowy Arctic nature and amazing landscapes around us. The adventure gives you wonderful opportunity to witness the real and authentic nature of Lapland!

Description

During our adventure, we will enjoy beautiful nature and photograph the breath-taking landscapes around us. We use special skin-based skis, which take skiing from cross-country right into the backcountry. Backcountry skiis represent the freshest Finnish innovation in wilderness exploration. Owing to their composition and skin-based material they provide us unlimited access to the endless, snowy hinterlands of Lapland.

We will start our tour from Rovaniemi and drive to our location hidden in the forest. During the trip, we will take a break in a wooden shelter and prepare some sausages over an open fire. We will be surrounded by all of the most astonishing features of Lappish nature. Moving on skiis in these snowy landscapes gives us unforgettable opportunities for photography! The tour is always guided by a professional photographer who will share his knowledge of landscape and nature photography.
