Cross-country skiing for beginners

Guided introduction to cross-country skiing

Apart from being Finland’s national sport, cross-country skiing is also a lot of fun. Our guide will prime you in the basic skiing techniques, the same ones all Finns are taught in school. When you get a hang of the sport you’ll be off striding and gliding along the best and most beautiful cross-country ski trails in the world. You will not only enjoy the breathtaking views and the professional instructors' attention but also get a nice little work-out outdoors. Feel like a real Finn!
