4 Days 3 Nights Arctic Challenge in Pyhä-Luosto National Park

Experience the ultimate Arctic adventure on a multi-day ski and snowshoe tour in Pyhä-Luosto National Park, traversing the pristine snow of vast Aapa bogs and ancient forests. You will glide on short, wide wilderness skis with integrated climbing skins, pulling ahkio sleds (pulka) for personal and group equipment to keep backpacks light while adding a touch of true Arctic spirit. A Bliss guide will accompany the tour, sharing insights about the surrounding nature, wilderness travel traditions, and ensuring safety throughout the journey. The first night is spent in a genuine Finnish wilderness hut, complete with a wood-heated sauna—perfect for a rejuvenating roll in the snow to refresh both body and soul.

The final day brings the challenge of snowshoeing across the sometimes steep hills of the Pyhätunturi fell range. This tour offers a deeper dive into Arctic wilderness skills, including skiing techniques, sled packing, daily routines, and understanding weather factors. Under the guidance of your Bliss expert, you may also practice essential survival skills such as navigation in the Taiga forest, using the traditional puukko knife, fire making in snowy conditions, and wilderness cooking, providing an immersive and educational experience in the heart of the Arctic wilderness.
