The ultimate experience for backcountry nomads and snowboard freeriders, this tour is organised in partnership with Ilahu snowsurfs - a hybrid board without the bindings - handmade in Lapland. After a short safety briefing and kit demo, you'll hike through Finland's oldest pine forest to reach one of 7 freeriding areas - offering challenging terrain for even the most experienced off-pister.
