Introduction to Backcountry Skiing in Arctic Wilderness

Your adventure

The rhythm of the day.

Every route remains flexible. Your guide adapts it to snow, weather and the group.

1. 01

   Getting familiar with your skis

   Introduction to the equipment and the basics of backcountry skiing. We’ll start slowly, learning how to move, turn and control your skis before heading into the snow-covered landscape.

2. 02

   First glide on a flat frozen lake

   We start on the open, flat surface of a frozen lake, giving you time to get a feel for the skis and practise the basics without any challenging terrain. It’s a relaxed way to build confidence before moving into the forest.

3. 03

   Practice in easy, snow-covered forest

   Once you’re comfortable, we leave the lake and enter the forest. On gentle terrain, you’ll practise moving uphill, downhill and around small changes in the landscape, learning how these skis behave in soft snow.

4. 04

   Into the Arctic landscape

   With the basics in place, we continue deeper into the snowy forest. You’ll get a taste of what backcountry skiing is really about: travelling quietly through winter wilderness, away from prepared trails and crowds.

5. 05

   Gentle return

   We make our way back at an easy pace, using the terrain you’ve become familiar with along the way. A final chance to enjoy the skis, the forest and the quiet Arctic surroundings before finishing the tour.

The itinerary and order of activities may be adjusted based on weather and logistics to ensure an optimal and safe experience.
