A trek to fells with sliding snowshoes

Sliding snowshoes combine the best parts of skis and snowshoes. Sliding snowshoes are agile. They are faster than snowshoes and more practical than forest skis. In an uphill, the skin-based bottom will create an excellent grip whereas in downhills, they will slide like skis. The sliding snowshoes are a comfortable way of moving forward even in deep-snow environment such as forests. We will travel across varying terrains in the pure nature of Pallas-Ylläs national park. This trek will take you to the middle of enchanted places, where you have an opportunity to stop, listen and look around you.

During the day, we will travel about 5-8 km. The treks do not require a top fitness level, but a good general physical condition is a prerequisite. In this way, you can enjoy yourself without the trek getting too strenuous. During the tour, I will tell you about the history of the national park and nature. I will also tell you about winter trekking and how to survive in wilderness for longer periods of time.

Please, note that weather can change quickly in Lapland. Clear and nice weather can rapidly change into freezing temperatures and strong north wind, so you need to be prepared accordingly.
