SOME BASIC FACTS ABOUT THE TOUR
-

good fitness

- Daily skiing time is approximately 5-7 hours. Distances depend on the snow conditions.
- There is no track, occasionally some snowmobile tracks can appear.
- The route goes in forests, crosses lakes and swamps. There are hilly sections and with sledge some of the uphills are pretty demanding.
