Ski week in North Karelia

skiing in the sun This skiing holiday provides you an opportunity to learn the secrets of cross-country skiing. Perhaps there have been several years without snow and skies, or you think such a long distance would be too much for the condition.

Here is the possibility to learn all about skies and skiing. We shall show you how to ski, how to wax, how to go uphill and downhill, and how to break. We are also going to make two skiing tours together and give you tips how to practise more. After training and learning a lot, you surely will be able to participate in the skiing tours from guesthouse to guesthouse with us.

When you already have skied a week, and you notice how your condition has increased.. so it's hard to stop skiing.

1st day Arrival at Kuopio airport. Transfer to Nurmes, about 120 km. Dinner and getting-to-know the others in the group. Accommodation at Pihlajapuu.
