Can you leave stuff behind at the basecamp during the 3 day mini track tour to the wilderness huts? I have done multiple snow walking trips in France/Switzerland. Do I have B/C category shoes sufficient for snow walking? What are the costs for the extra services? Baggage transport between the accommodations 5 x evening sauna, 3 x ice swimming Bedding and bath towels Sleeping bags and mummy liners (2 nights) I have my own Cumulus sleeping bag with a comfort of -6 and limit -13. Is that sufficient?

It is recommended to take only the necessary stuff to the wilderness cabins and the rest can stay at the basecamp. All that you list as "additional services" are included in the tour price.

Can you provide us with an invitation letter? This letter will serve as supporting documentation for our visa application process and to ensure a smooth entry into Finland.

We are not able to send an invitation letter. Only if you book a tour with us, we can give a proof about your trip after the full payment has been done.

Everything about this trip was incredible - the landscape, snoeshowing, Finnish saunas, the culture, and even our Guides! You cover a lot of ground snoeshowing, so this isn't for the fainthearted, but it is definitely worth it! For me it would have been better without the cabins with no electricity/running water, but you know what you are getting into at least! And it didn't spoil the experience in any way. Overall, a brilliant trip, would highly, highly recommend.Show more
