Freeriding in the Kilpisjärvi region
Kilpisjärvi has a lot to offer for experienced as well as beginner freeriders.
With us and a little help from local operators, you can choose several different tours. You can either stay around the Kilpisjärvi village area in Finland or take a sleigh ride to reach the real wilderness for your tour.
Our daily plans depend on the weather, but in most cases, we aim to do nice, long runs in picturesque landscapes. All the freeriding is done on natural snow, so you need to the have basics of snowboarding or skiing down. If you wish, we can also teach you about correct touring techniques and ways to read the terrain while riding.
The tour prices depend on our destination but will be discussed beforehand.

You have some experience in ski touring or snowshoeing.
You can keep moving in varying terrain for about 3 to 5 hours while carrying a backpack.
