To fully enjoy your skiing adventure in the mountainous areas, it’s important to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and local temperatures. For a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we recommend wearing warm, waterproof clothing, and bringing sunscreen and sunglasses.

The winter season starts with short days with daylight, but then you will get a lot of clear starry sky, and if you are lucky even northern light. Bring a headlamp and ski in the dark! From around mid Febuary, you will get longer days.

Easy to Moderate

This trip is suitable for guests with some initial cross-country skiing experience. The routes lead through gently to moderately hilly terrain with some longer climbs and gentle descents. Basic skiing technique and a normal level of fitness are recommended. The tracks offer varied landscapes and well-prepared trails. The actual difficulty may vary depending on personal experience, fitness level, weather conditions, and the condition of the ski tracks.

A small fee is included in your trip to support local cross-country skiing clubs that maintain and prepare all the ski tracks you use during your stay. Most of the work in these clubs is done voluntarily by local residents who dedicate time and effort to keep the trails in good condition throughout the winter. The contribution helps cover equipment, fuel, and maintenance. With this fee, you help to support local communities and ensure that a wide network of well-prepared ski tracks remain available throughout the winter.
