Highlights
Discover Lapland the Finnish way on a small-group cross-country skiing adventure through peaceful winter landscapes. Cross-country skiing is one of Finland’s most beloved winter sports and an important part of local culture — a traditional way to move through snowy forests and enjoy the outdoors during the long Arctic winter. Whether you are trying skiing for the first time or already have experience, our guides will teach you the basics and help you feel comfortable on your skis. After being fully equipped with winter clothing and skis, we head to a scenic trail just outside the city, where your adventure begins. Gliding through snow-covered forests and, conditions permitting, across frozen lakes, you will experience the calm beauty of the Arctic in a truly authentic way. Surrounded by silence, fresh winter air, and stunning snowy scenery, this approximately 3-hour journey offers a memorable glimpse into Finnish winter life. Hot drinks are included to keep you warm along the way.

About Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi, on the edge of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, is a river city known for Santa Claus Village, northern lights, reindeer and deep snow.
Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, set where the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers join, just south of the Arctic Circle. The town was rebuilt after being burnt in the Second World War, and its street plan, drawn by the architect Alvar Aalto, is said to echo a reindeer's antlers. Arktikum, a museum and science centre, tells the story of life in the Arctic, and a lit footbridge known as the Lumberjack's Candle crosses the river.
