Cross-country Skiing Tour from Guesthouse to Guesthouse in Karelia, 7 nights


8 days

Moderate

A guided, cross-country skiing week with ski tours from 10 to 25 kilometers daily. Great Karelian food and hospitality!

Set out for a tour by ski to the idyllic countryside of North Karelia. Snow, white forests and frozen lakes; February and March are the best times of the year for skiing in North Karelia.
The sun is shining, the snow glistens, the frozen lakes and hills are covered with a thick coat of snow.

Daily skiing tour is between 10 and 25 km and 4 to 6 hours with breaks. You should already be able to ski and have a good condition, you also get fitter every day! We´ll eat sandwiches and chocolate and drink hot tea or berry juice on the breaks. Please bring your own rucksack and thermos flask with you.

It is quiet in the forests. Sometimes you can see hare footprints or even elk footprints crossing our ski track.

In the evening you can have a sauna and cool-off in the snow. You also get to know typical Finnish homemade delicacies and after a good night sleep you are fit to ski again. The food is local and we also often use organic products!
