Gutsy Girls Holiday | Lapland Hut to Hut Backcountry Ski Expedition in Finland!

Venture deep into Finland’s Arctic wilds on a backcountry ski expedition that’s equal parts grit, wonder, and camaraderie. Over seven nights, you’ll traverse Lemmenjoki National Park, Europe’s largest wilderness, on skis, towing your gear by pulka and sleeping in remote, firelit cabins far from the noise of everyday life.

This women-only adventure is built for those ready for a challenge, up for learning new skills, and experiencing winter in its rawest form. No ski experience needed, just a high fitness level, a resilient mindset, and a hunger for something unforgettable.

Highlights
• Ski 10–17km daily through boreal forest, frozen lakes, and untouched terrain
• Learn winter survival skills and build your own snow shelter (optional overnight!)
• Stay in off-grid wilderness huts with saunas and candlelight
• Melt snow for drinking water and cook hearty expedition meals
• Watch for reindeer, elk, and the elusive Northern Lights
• Bond with a small group of bold women ready to dig deep and lift each other up

📍 Location
Lemmenjoki National Park spans 2,850 square kilometers of pristine Arctic wilderness. Located at 69° north, it offers one of the best chances to see the aurora borealis—if the skies are clear and luck is on your side.

🛌 Accommodation
Begin and end in a cozy log cabin with electricity and hot showers. During the expedition, sleep in rustic huts with no running water or electricity—just saunas, wood-burning stoves, and shared bunks. One night, you’ll have the option to sleep in your own snow cave or 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.
