Upon arrival, your guide will welcome you at the airport and transfer you to a traditional chalet. Settle in, enjoy dinner, and take in your first impressions of the snowy landscapes.
Today marks your first immersion in ski touring as you explore the pristine landscapes of Kuertunturi. Your journey begins in a tranquil boreal forest, where snow-laden trees create a magical setting. As you ascend, the landscape opens up to sweeping views of the surrounding fells—a breathtaking glimpse into Lapland’s winter wilderness. At the summit, take a well-earned break to soak in the Arctic silence. In the afternoon, back at the chalet, it’s time to prepare for the upcoming expedition. Your guide will go over the essential gear, ensuring everything is set for the adventure ahead. From packing your equipment to final adjustments, every detail is carefully considered to allow you to embark on the next stage of your journey with confidence and excitement.
For four days, you will immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Finnish Lapland. Each day will start with a ski tour leading to a remote hut, with varied terrain including birch forests, snow-covered hills, and frozen lakes. The pace of the expedition allows you to fully appreciate the landscapes while pushing your physical and mental limits. Evenings will be spent in cozy wilderness huts, sharing warm meals before resting under the starry sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
Back at the chalet, this day is yours to unwind or explore further. You may choose to relax or take part in optional activities. This is the perfect moment to slow down and enjoy authentic experiences in the heart of nature. In the afternoon, you will visit the renowned Ice Village, famous for its incredible snow and ice sculptures—a truly unique place in the world.
After breakfast, it will be time to say goodbye to this Arctic paradise. A transfer will take you back to the airport for your return flight, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your Nordic adventure.

No prior experience in Nordic or alpine skiing is required for this adventure. We use OAC skis, specially designed to be stable, intuitive, and easy to handle. However, a good level of physical fitness and overall health is necessary, as we will cover between 11 and 17 km per day, with some ascents adding to the daily challenge. This is an accessible yet demanding experience, where the combination of wilderness and physical effort creates unforgettable moments in the heart of Lapland.
During this journey, the first and last two nights will be spent in a fully equipped chalet, offering comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. Nestled in nature, this wooden chalet serves as both the starting point and the perfect retreat for rest and recovery. For the remaining nights, the adventure continues in wilderness huts. These shelters, though lacking electricity and running water, provide everything needed for a comfortable stay in nature. Mattresses and blankets are available for a restorative sleep, while a wood-burning stove fills the room with warmth and the flickering light of flames, creating a cozy and soothing ambiance.
Yes, the tour is designed to be accessible even if you’ve never tried Nordic skiing before. We start with a short introduction to the technique, and the pace is always adapted to the group. That said, backcountry skiing is a skill-based activity: some people pick it up quickly, others need a bit more time. While previous skiing experience can help, what matters most is being open to learning something new in an outdoor environment, even if you’ve never skied before. If you’re comfortable being active outdoors and open to a bit of adventure, you’ll be absolutely fine.
Staying warm and comfortable is essential. We recommend layering: a thermal base layer, an insulating mid-layer, and a warm outer layer such as a ski jacket and ski pants or a down jacket. Warm gloves, a hat, and winter boots are essential as well. We provide backcountry skis and poles, and if needed, winter boots can be rented on request.

Un voyage à la hauteur de mes rêves : immersion en pleine nature, dépaysement, émerveillement, magie du grand nord... le tout à ski pour un trek de 4 j (60km); un circuit organisé par NordX Adventures, parfaitement adapté à notre demande ! Un grand bravo et merci à Kevin de nous avoir concocté ce séjour sur mesure, mêlant sport, aventure de refuge en refuge, confort logistique, matériel de grande qualité à disposition... et la diversité des autres activités proposées pour la suite de notre séjour (moto neige, chiens de traîneaux, visite du village de glace...). Je recommande NordX Adventures pour son écoute attentive et sa capacité de transformer nos souhaits en réalités, le tout avec simplicité et authenticité. C'était un séjour merveilleux. Merci.

Notre séjour en Laponie a été tout simplement époustouflant !! Nous avons choisi Nordx adventures pour son programme proposé en ski de randonnée de plusieurs jours qui au final a été au delà de nos espérances. Tout était réuni pour être en osmose avec la nature. J’ai adoré la beauté des paysages et la magie des aurores boréales. Le professionnalisme et la bonne humeur de bout en bout de notre guide Kévin a égayé notre périple. Une expérience incroyable que je recommande à tous les amoureux de nature et d’aventure !
