Discover the freedom of the Arctic backcountry with this guided adventure on hiking skis – a unique combination of snowshoe agility and ski glide, designed for deep snow and natural terrain.
After a short intro session, you’ll learn how to move efficiently on these short, wide skis with built-in climbing skins and universal bindings that work with your regular winter boots. We’ll cover everything from basic gliding to braking, turning, climbing gentle slopes, and descending small hills – giving you confidence in both open areas and forested trails.
Along the way, we’ll take in the winter landscape, stop for a warm drink, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Arctic wilderness – all at your own pace.
