2 Days 1 Night Altai Ski Touring in Pyhä-Luosto

Embark on an entry-level overnight ski tour to Yrjölä Hut in Pyhä-Luosto National Park, with stunning views of Ukko-Luosto fell. This tour is led by a qualified wilderness and skiing guide who will share insights about the surrounding nature and traditional wilderness travel. Skiers will pull a not-so-heavy ahkio sled, also known as a pulka, to carry personal equipment, eliminating the need for a day backpack while adding to the authentic wilderness experience. The tour combines learning with adventure, making it an ideal introduction to multi-day ski expeditions in the Arctic.

Participants will spend a cozy night in a warm wilderness hut, complete with the opportunity to enjoy a traditional wood-heated Finnish sauna, including the exhilarating option to roll in the snow afterward. Throughout the tour, you will gain valuable skills such as skiing technique and strategy, sled packing, daily maintenance routines, and understanding weather factors. The Bliss guide will also introduce practical Arctic skills including navigation in the Taiga forest, using a traditional puukko knife, fire-making in snowy conditions, and wilderness cooking methods, providing a comprehensive and immersive learning experience in Finland’s winter wilderness.
