Evening Ski Trek to the Wilderness
Rovaniemi, FinlandJoin our small group (max. 4 persons), and come to live on skis the magic atmospehere of the snowy forest at night, a snowy landscape lit sometimes by the moonlight, by the stars or perhaps by the northern lights (aurora)! Sometimes (cloudy weather, new moon) it will be darker around us and we´ll only see in the fan of our headlamp, the rest will remain unknown...The snowy forest at night has his charm in every weather!
We´ll drive to a remote area, half an hour away from Rovaniemi, far from towns and marked trails; there we´ll put the skis ánd headlamps on and go through the base techniques of trekking-skis; then we´ll start to ski through snowy forests, and frozen swamps towards the kota, traditional lappish tent. We´ll check the sky to look for stars and the northern lights. If you bring along your camera, I will help you set it to get nice pictures of the northern lights.
The kota will be our basecamp; we´ll light a fire in it, grill a snack, and relax sitting on reindeer skins. Every now and then we can go check the sky for stars and northern lights and when it feels cold we can go back inside to warm up.
Previous experience with the skis is not required, as they are easy to use and the terrain mostly flat.
The trek difficulty will be adjusted by the guide, based on the physical condition of the clients.
