Start at the Russian border. Finish at the North Atlantic. In between – 800 kilometres of Lapland wilderness, three countries, and fifteen days of skiing that nordic ski touring enthusiasts spend years dreaming about.

This unique nordic ski tour crosses Finland from Salla deep into Swedish Lapland, passing through Kiruna and Abisko before climbing the final ridges into Norway and descending to Narvik – a route with no shortcuts and no repetition, where the landscape shifts from frozen Finnish forests to the open Swedish fells to Norwegian mountain walls.

Two pace groups leave every morning so fast and steady skiers travel side by side without pressure; hot lunches are served on the trail, and accommodation is arranged at every stage so you carry nothing but poles and determination. You can join for one week or stay for all four – the route is modular, the group is international, and the feeling of crossing a border on skis never gets old. Nordic ski touring at this scale happens in very few places on earth. This is one of them.

WHO IS THIS SKI HIKING SUITABLE FOR?
This is not a competition. You can choose to ski in small groups or alone during the day. The fitness requirement is that you should be able to ski long distances over several consecutive days at an average speed of approximately 8-10 km/h, taking into account weather and snow conditions. If you are an active skier who covers at least 300 km per year, we believe you will be able to participate in this trip.

On most days, you also have the option to ski only part of the route. If you prefer, you can travel from one accommodation to another using a service vehicle on certain days, although space is limited.

Please note that weather and snow conditions can vary significantly during the hike. The track along the sledge pathways may not always be the same as the snowshoe track in your home village. However, when you are wearing snowshoes, the experience is truly wonderful!

Included

During the ski tour, we stay in hotels and cottage villages (mainly 2-4h rooms) and one night in homestays.
Single rooms are available in some accommodations, although limited.
Linen etc. are always included - your own sleeping bag is not needed.
Most accommodations have sauna facilities.

Included:

accommodation for 15 nights and 10x dinners (entire trip)
accommodation for 8 nights and 5x dinners (Finland part)
accommodation for 7 nights and 5x dinners (Sweden + Norway part)
breakfast daily
lunch (or packed lunch) on skiing days
cross-country skiing
ski guide
equipment transport between accommodations
daily service vehicle support
tour guide
oiling stand in use
sauna on most days

EQUIPMENT
The skiing is done with normal skis (no single-seater skis, etc.). On some days, you can also skate a little, but traditional skis are most suitable. Larger-than-normal bags in the poles are good. Participants will receive a more detailed equipment list before the trip.

Max. group size - 40 people

Highlands and Experience

Itinerary:
We start our tour from the Russian border crossing station in the tiny town of Salla, just north of the Arctic Circle in Eastern Finland. In the next eight days, we will ski across Finland’s magic Lapland and reach the Swedish border in Muonio. Next, we will enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Swedish Lappland and cross the border to Norway in Riksgransen. Finally, on the last day, we ski down the North-Atlantic coast near Narvik.

During the 14 days, we ski approximately 800km, or 50-70 kilometers daily. We ski mainly along snowmobile tracks, where a local snowmobilist drives a skitrack the same day. Some days we pass ski resorts and can utilize their permanent skitracks (in perfect condition). Free technic skiing is possible in some parts of the route.

Our service van/coach moves your luggage to the next accommodation and takes care of the group’s daily breaks. So you carry only your light everyday backpack and enjoy 100% cross-country skiing in Lapland scenery.
