There is no better way to explore untouched parts of Arctic nature than backcountry skiing! As your professional guide will take you away from Rovaniemi, straight into nature, you will get the chance to explore some of the breathtaking scenery of Lapland using backcountry skis and leave your track in the deep snow where no one has been before you! The tour is designed to get a good chance to observe the Northern Lights if they appear - your guide will take you up a hill or across swamps, looking for nice viewpoints toward the North, where the Auroras are coming.
