Aakenus expedition on BC skis

Aakenus fell, the destination of our trip is one of the greatest fells of the region. Shape of Aakenus is long ridge form, offering phenomenal 360 scenery. Definitely worth of exploring for everyone visiting Ylläs area. This trip takes you to the wilderness of Pallas-Ylläs Nationalpark and into its unique and arctic nature, providing an experience of a lifetime.

We’ll be roaming in the wild 10-15km during this day trip. The trip doesn’t demand ultimate fitness, but generally good physical condition is required. This way we make sure you can enjoy the trip and nature. During the trip I’ll be introducing the nationalpark, its nature and history. I’ll also introduce demands and ways of winter expeditioning and survival techniques.

It’s important to keep in mind that weather conditions may change rapidly up here in Lapland. Good weather may turn into crispy minus degrees and heavy North wind, demanding us to be prepared for these possible changes.

Price includes: BC skis, boots, poles and snacks & hydration

Notice:  The package includes transportation within Ylläs area. We’ll pick you up from your accommodation and return after the trip.
