Full description

After being picked up at your hotel in the morning, begin your winter cross country ski adventure. Climb aboard a minivan and be driven for about 20 minutes into the local nature reserves of Ounasvaara. Move through the frozen forest on a pair of skis with the winter sun shining on your face. Putting one ski before the other, glide through the snowy tracks in a flowing motion. Warm drinks and gingerbread cookies will be provided as a hard-earned snack. Discover magical and beautiful winter forest combined with frozen lakes covered by snow. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife tracks of animals such as deer, moose, and as you glide soundlessly through the forest.

The guide was really great! now we had to have a French-speaking guide and finally did not speak French, the activity does not last 4 hours but 2 hours effective. to know that you can book cross-country skis directly for 30 euros per day...

It honestly looks easier than it is. Our guide was great. She explained the basics to us well and let us try a lot on our own and adapted to us at any time.

We choose this activity maybe in the wrong month as there was not much snow, however we enjoyed our time and our guides were extremely helpful
