Skin-based trekking skis have many names and we call them to glide snow shoes. They have a combination of the best features of forest skis and snowshoes. Let's try!

The snow covers holes and stones – let snowshoeing begin! A person who knows how to walk will easily learn how to snowshoe and will be able to enjoy the magic of winterly nature. Elevations, snow conditions, and personal speed will offer challenges for each of the hiker’s needs and desires. Snowshoeing represents the top of ecologic activity/exercise. The guides will teach you how to snowshoe and will lead you through the interesting and beautiful scenery of the wilderness of North Karelia. The price includes snowshoes, necessary safety equipment, and guides with their liability insurance. The hiking trip lasts a maximum of 2 hours, depending on the endurance of the group. After the trip, we will enjoy warm/cold drinks around an open fire at a cozy lean-to.

Snowshoe hikes will take place if there are at least three participants. The maximum group size is 5. For larger groups on request, please contact us.
