Important Details
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. And in the spring on warm days, it can even be possible to ski in a bikini.
Accommodation
You can choose between staying in a cabin or in a hotel. The prices vary depending on how many staying, from 1-6 pax. The prices of both accommodations also vary during the season. Send us a non-binding request when you would like to go, and how many you are.
