Imagine gliding through frosted forests and across frozen lakes under the pastel glow of a northern sky—Cross-Country Skiing in Lapland delivers just that. Tailored for experienced travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure, this 8-day winter tour is based in Akaslompolo, nestled within the majestic Pallas-Yllastunturi National Park in Finland.
Skiers of all abilities will find their stride on over 300km of meticulously maintained trails, ranging from gentle flat routes to more challenging tracks winding through snow-capped fells. Nighttime brings a touch of magic with illuminated trails, perfect for atmospheric twilight skiing during the Polar Night. Along the way, traditional Finnish kotas and cozy cafés offer rest stops where you can indulge in local treats and savor hot blueberry juice.
The adventure extends beyond skiing: take snowshoes in search of the elusive Northern Lights, or hop on a ski bus to visit the extraordinary Snow Village—a seasonal marvel sculpted by international artists. For panoramic views and a taste of Finnish hospitality, ascend Yllastunturi Fell and dine at the highest restaurant in Finland.
The unique selling point of this tour package is its unrivaled access to pristine Lappish landscapes combined with a flexible, self-directed skiing experience. For travelers who crave winter wonderlands and authentic cultural encounters, this trip promises both serenity and excitement in the Arctic Circle.
