Another ski tour week for beginners

Written by Upitrek on . Posted in News.

Our beginner-friendly Finnish Eastern Wilderness ski tour (22 March) filled up faster than ever, so we’ve just opened a second group for 17-23 February 2026.

No previous cross-country skiing experience is required to join. However, we don’t recommend joining “straight from the couch” – a moderate level of fitness is needed to fully enjoy the tour and the new sport. The route remains the same, but the pace is more relaxed and the program includes some basic technical instruction.

Check the itinerary here and feel free to contact us at sales@upitrek.com for more information.

UKK national park ski tour – updated program

Written by Upitrek on . Posted in News.

Our week-long ski tour “off the trails” has been updated. This challenging yet rewarding journey takes you through the pristine wilderness of Urho Kekkonen National Park in Eastern Lapland.
Travelling on forest skis and pulling your own pulk, you’ll cross snowy forests, open fells, and frozen marshes – with the option to summit Sokosti, the park’s highest peak. Nights are spent in wilderness huts, with the first and last night in a hotel.

This tour suits fit, experienced skiers who are also comfortable in cold weather conditions.
Tours are available by request for small private groups of up to 4 people.
