Gutsy Girls Holiday | Arctic Circle Hut to Hut Ski Expedition in Finland!

Push past the ordinary and into the wild with this hut-to-hut ski expedition across Finland’s most rugged terrain. Over seven nights, you’ll traverse the remote Käsivarsi Wilderness Area - home to Finland’s highest peaks - on wide cross-country skis, towing your gear by pulka. At night you'll sleep in off-grid cabins with no running water or electricity and warmed by wood-burning stoves.

This women-only adventure is for those ready to embrace challenge, camaraderie, and the raw beauty of Arctic winter. No ski experience required, just a high fitness level, a resilient mindset, and a hunger for something unforgettable.

Highlights
• Ski 10–18km daily through untouched Arctic landscapes
• Learn backcountry ski touring with expert guidance
• Stay in remote wilderness huts with saunas and shared bunks
• Melt snow for drinking water and cook hearty expedition meals
• Witness the Northern Lights from one of the best viewing spots in Finland
• Experience true self-sufficiency and bond with a small group of bold women

📍 Location
Starting in Kilpisjärvi, a tiny village on the border of Norway, you’ll venture deep into the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area—2,200 square kilometers of icy tundra, frozen lakes, and dramatic peaks.

🛌 Accommodation
Begin and end in a cozy cabin with electricity and hot showers. During the expedition, sleep in rustic huts with no running water or electricity—just candlelight, and shared bunks. One night, you’ll have the option to sleep in an expedition tent.

🔥 Difficulty Level
Challenging. You’ll ski 5–6 hours daily while towing a 20–25kg pulka. No ski experience required, we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Perfect for anyone who’s experienced multi-day adventures without home comforts - think trekking, bikepacking, packrafting, or hut-to-hut journeys. A high fitness level and positive mindset are essential.
