Itinerary

Not a snowshoe nor a traditional long back country ski – but a cross-breed with best of the both worlds. A wide, short, agile ski makes it easy to travel across thick snowfields. No previous skiing experience required for enjoying gliding across the puffy snowfields. Exploring Arctic forest was never so easy and effortless! The Classic Wilderness Skiing Tour lasts two and half hours. The tour can and will be tailored based on the clients' request. Guide will give a knowledgeable presentation about the Arctic nature and the old Lappish beliefs. Altai ski is a short, easy-to-use forest ski that combines the best features of a snowshoe. With a partial climbing skin integrated into the base, the ski climbs with ease. The skin also makes the ski slower and easier to control than traditional skis. The ski’s short, wide design makes it incredibly maneuverable, ideal for thick woods and variable terrain, a truly all-purpose backcountry tool.

Great equipment and even better advice to make the most of your adventure

Published on Feb, 2025

We discovered wilderness ski and the national park thanks to Arturi! He was incredibly helpful, reassuring and gave us tips to make the best of the day. We had the best family day. Perfect service, equipment in excellent conditions and advice on the “important things not to miss”

Amazing experience

We really enjoyed this experience. It was fun to cross the deeper snow in the wilderness with these special skis. We can recommend it.

Wilderness skiing Pyha

Published on Feb, 2025

It was our first time trying wilderness skiing and Tiina our guide was amazing. Not only was she knowledgeable about the local environment and wildlife, she showed patience and humour whilst we learnt the basics. We would thoroughly recommend doing this and hope to try it again sometime.

With my 14 years old teenager, we had so funny and great hours with this activity :-) The skis are a mix of different kind of skis as we know them in the alps: more or less --> short, easy to ride and fun. The landscape was very nice and the guide super. He explained us a lot about the aera; we really liked it. We can recommand this activity 100% such also as all the others. We ice-climbed, we rided e-fatbike on snow ( really cool :-)) Bliss Adventure is very professional and exprimented.
