This night skiing tour takes you into the Arctic wilderness after dark, when the landscapes of Ylläs become completely silent and transformed. Under the night sky, you ski through forests and across a frozen lake, far from any artificial lights or crowds.
With only the sound of your skis on snow, the experience feels calm, immersive, and almost surreal. Depending on conditions, the night sky may reveal stars or even the Northern Lights, adding a unique atmosphere to the journey.
Midway through the tour, we take a break in a traditional kota, where we light a fire, warm up, and enjoy a hot drink in the middle of the forest.
This is a rare opportunity to experience Lapland in its most peaceful and atmospheric form, moving through nature when it feels completely untouched.

During this night skiing tour, we start in the forest as darkness settles over the Ylläs region. Once equipped, we move into quiet trails surrounded by snow-covered trees and complete silence. We gradually make our way deeper into the wilderness, skiing through gentle terrain where the only light comes from the snow and the sky. Depending on conditions, we may pause to observe the night sky and, if we are lucky, the Northern Lights. Midway through the tour, we take a break in a traditional forest shelter to rest and warm up before continuing through peaceful snowy landscapes. The return follows soft forest terrain, offering a calm and atmospheric end to the experience.
