Not a snowshoe nor a traditional long back country ski – but a cross-breed with best of the both worlds. A wide, short, agile ski makes it easy to travel across thick snowfields. No previous skiing experience required for enjoying gliding across the puffy snowfields.
Premium Wilderness Skiing Tour lasts 4 hours and is more thorough experience than the Classic option. The tour can and will be tailored based on the clients' request. Guide will give a knowledgeable presentation about the Arctic nature and the old Lappish beliefs.
For this activity, guests use their own winter boots. The ski bindings are designed to work with almost all types of regular winter footwear, so no special ski boots are needed. To keep you comfortable and dry, we provide gaiters for every participant, preventing snow from getting inside your boots while skiing. Please note that fashionable Moon Boots are better suited for après-ski photos than wilderness skiing. They are usually too bulky to fit safely into the bindings and offer little ankle support for this activity. If you have warm winter boots with good ankle support, you’re all set for a comfortable and enjoyable wilderness skiing experience.
Premium Wilderness Skiing Tour is available both in Pyhä (Pyhätunturi) and Luosto (Luostotunturi), located just a mere 20 km from each other in Lapland.

You will be asked during the booking process whether you want to start the Premium Wilderness Skiing Tour either from Pyhä or Luosto.

Altai ski is a short, easy-to-use forest ski that combines the best features of a snowshoe. With a partial climbing skin integrated into the base, the ski climbs with ease. The skin also makes the ski slower and easier to control than traditional skis. The ski’s short, wide design makes it incredibly maneuverable, ideal for thick woods and variable terrain, a truly all-purpose backcountry tool.
