Come explore the wilderness with the traditional way of skiing. Instead of regular cross-country skis used on maintained tracks we will make our own path, skiing across the frozen lakes, onto the deep snow in the forest, heading towards our kota – a traditional Lappish teepee – where we will enjoy a typical Finnish outdoor lunch by open fire, before skiing back towards the village.
