Arrive in Rovaniemi. Guides will pick you up and take you for a lunch and check Rovaniemi before to Pyhä. Once in Pyhä, you check in and get to chill before a traditional 3 course Lappish welcome dinner at our lake-side cabin. Surrounded by your new friends, you can relax by the fire as local guides will prepare a delicious Finnish dinner made with the freshest local ingredients. A typical Lappish meal consists of Lappish bread, cheese and cloudberry jam, Lake Pyhä fish soup or creamy sweet potato soup, sautéed reindeer stew with smashed potatoes, lingonberries, and cucumber, followed by berry pie and vanilla sauce. (note: all dietary requirements can be accommodated)

Days 2 through 4 are our warm up days. After our travels, we'll get rid of the cobwebs in the ski area as well as tackle shorter lift-accessed tours.

Repeat! Today could be an excellent day for our Pyhätunturi snow surf session. We’ll spend a half day snow surfing in powder on hand crafted binding-less boards. Snow surfing represents a return to the timeless pleasure of gliding, propelled only by gravity. The experience is simple yet infinitely enjoyable. It conveys the spirit and original stoke of snowboarding and gives the rider a connection with nature. It opens the backcountry and backyard hills to new forms of riding and exploration. We will choose the spot according to the current weather and snow conditions and try to find untouched powder. We use Ilahu boards that are designed and made in Finnish Lapland. The boards are carefully finished by hand to ensure the highest quality. This adventure is suitable for everyone. We will reach the backcountry with snowmobiles, and then use snowshoes for short ascents after each run. Included is guiding and instruction, Ilahu snow surf boards, backpack, snowshoes, warm drinks, and snacks.

Start your day with more shredding. The afternoon could be an excellent opportunity to experience a traditional Lappish smoke sauna in a cozy cottage and take a dip in an Arctic Lake! A traditional wood-heated Finnish smoke sauna is a uniquely Lappish experience that takes place by Lake Pyhäjärvi. To start, we’ll tell you about Finnish sauna culture and how to prepare the bathing water (there is no shower in Finnish style smoke sauna). Then you are ready to enjoy the soft heat of the sauna which is a very relaxing experience. Let the heat purify your body as the wintery magic of Lapland purifies your soul. It is a place for cleansing and tranquility. While we do our best to prepare you for an evening in the wilderness, it’s up to you decide how you want to spend your time. The classic Lappish way is to spend 5-10 minutes in the sauna and then jump into ice cold water, or even a pile of snow. Switching back and forth between the hot and cold is a ritual with its own raw appeal. Our sauna is located on the shore of Lake Pyhäjärvi, so swimming to cool off goes hand in hand with sitting in the heat. We have a hole cut in the ice and you can take a dip in the freezing cold water. A cold plunge after a steamy session increases your blood flow, relieves stress and boosts your endorphin levels. After this unique Finnish Spa experience, it’s time to get back to our little wooden cabin to enjoy delicious 3 course Lappish dinner by the fireplace. Included in this experience is a sauna guide, slippers and towels, shampoo and body care products, and transfers from our hotel.

With guest guide and pro rider Antti Autti joining Days 5 through 7, this is the time when you will experience what freeriding in Pyhä is all about! We will tour and ride in the national park, and enjoy night riding.

Repeat! If a good amount of snow falls, as with all days, we will catch the first tracks on the resort and enjoy local life at its finest.

Today's our last day of riding, so we'll be sure to make it epic! This c

Today our adventure comes to a close and we'll be departing back home. Your guides will take you back to Rovaniemi. Depending on your departure time, there could be time to go hang out in Rovaniemi city before you depart.
