No! We'll teach you the basics of Nordic skiing on the first morning and you'll build confidence as the week progresses. A willingness to learn and a sense of adventure are far more important than previous skiing experience.

You should be comfortable spending 5-6 hours outdoors each day and have a good level of general fitness. We'll ski between 8 and 18 km per day and take turns pulling sleds weighing around 30 kg. No two days are the same, so come prepared for an adventure!

Absolutely. Most of our guests join our trips solo and quickly become part of the group. Our small-group adventures are a brilliant way to meet like-minded people.

We'll spend the first and final nights at our cosy Finnish basecamp cabin in Kiilopaa which is a modern cabin before heading into the wilderness. The remaining nights are spent in remote wilderness huts within the national park. The huts are simple but comfortable, with bunk beds, wood-burning stoves and outdoor dry toilets. There is no electricity or Wi-Fi, just beautiful surroundings and good company.

Expect hearty, homemade expedition meals designed to keep you fuelled throughout the week. Everything is vegetarian and we do our best to use local and natural ingredients wherever possible. If you have any dietary requirements, just let us know when booking and we will do our best to cater for them.
