10 Cross-Country Skiing Tours in Finland Worth the Cold

1.Cross-Country Skiing Tour for Beginners

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 70 reviews · 2 hours · from $120Our pick

A 2-hour beginner cross-country skiing lesson in Levi, Finland, gliding on frozen Lake Immeljärvi with warm juice and a snack.

“I enjoyed learning how to cross country ski. No fault of the instructor but it was -27 on the day which reduced the amount of time we had and where we could go. I also think the group was too large for the number of Instructors available as you are spread out on the track. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have more time in the forest, but again I think this was more down to the weather than anything else.”

“Reading this, you must consider that we were two intermediate level cross skiing individuals so we picked this organized activity instead of getting on our own to a cross country ski resort. The description lead us to believe that we would be in a natural offsite area were we would see the true out of beaten path nature. Based on the price that we paid, this activity was far from what we expected. First, the two of us were grouped with 6 other absolute beginners. We ended up doing back and forth in an absolutely flat bottom open air part of a resort with nothing close to wilderness. Our guide…”
