Cross-Country Skiing

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

Ever watched cross-country skiers glide past and wondered what it feels like? Come and give it a try. We’ll introduce you to classic cross-country skiing on easy terrain, with no steep hills getting in the way of those first steps.

Your guide will help you get to grips with the basics, find your balance and start moving on the snow. A little practice, a few laughs and that first satisfying glide are all part of discovering a new winter activity.

This two-hour introduction is a friendly way to try one of Finland’s favourite ways of getting outdoors. You might arrive wondering how it all works—and leave looking forward to your next ski.
