This week-long fully guided, cross country skiing vacation in Finland takes you up to the wild far reaches of NE Finland. Following sections of an established cross country trail at times, and trails carved out especially for us by snowmobile at others, we stay in comfortable and welcoming private guesthouses along the way.
