Lapland Cross Country Journey
New
Kick off in Akaslompolo and wrap up at Kittilä – a Lapland adventure that puts Nordic skiing centre stage. Settle into a cosy base with half board and a handy ski service to sort your kit, then hit the well prepared trails that web across the Ylläs fells. Whether you’re new to cross country or polishing technique, you can book tuition or join guided outings – or switch it up with downhill runs, snowmobiling, husky sledding and snowshoeing. Expect pristine forests, frozen lakes and big Arctic skies – plus relaxed evenings back at your hotel before an easy return to Kittilä airport.
