I recently had the opportunity to go on a cross-country sport experience with my partner, and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the adventure was well-organized. Our guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience, always paying close attention to our needs.
This was one of the best outdoor activities I've done in a long time, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and fulfilling adventure. If you're considering trying cross-country sports, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

It was an incredible experience . Our guides Reetta and Lauri were super nice. We are a family with kids and we are beginners but our guides were very patient and always in the best disposition to make us enjoy the tour ! Also, they provided all the equipment we needed

Thanks for the great and honest review!

Fabulous half day trip! All of us were first timers - our guide explained everything clearly, had a smile on his face the whole time and continuously checked on everyone - each going at our own pace.
I’ve only been skiing twice and didn’t actually like it. I booked this as my partner wanted to try cross country and I’m so glad I did. The track has grooves in it which your skis slot into, making it so much easier than downhill skiiing.
I can’t recall our guide’s name but he was originally from Chile and was super patient with all our group.
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Cancelled on us at 11:20pm when we were to do it 10am on the following morning. Luckily we got booked with a much better tour provider. Wouldn’t recommend unless you want to gamble on your holiday activities bookings. No apology either.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
We totally understand the disappointment if the tour must be cancelled. There can be some reasons for that but always full refund is issued. Lately we had to cancel some tours because of late overbookings or extremely cold even dangerous weather. We are really sorry and hope you can book early next time and be able to enjoy our tours!

Our guide Tuija gave us beginners a great introduction to Nordic skiing. Highly recommend! The three hour tour is sufficient to get a good idea of the sport.

This is our first ever cross country skiing experience and it was spectacular. Our tour guide Reetta is the best tour guide we have ever met, this tour is a good fit for beginners. It was fun and memorable for us!

Really good fun and we had a Lappish bbq at the end. Our guide was really patient with our lack of experience and very knowledgable
Liliana_L, Mar 2022
It was a really good experience (good place in the forest, we stopped to warm up with hot beverages). Our guide was very nice and very helpful with everybody in the group :)

Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thank you for this great review! I guess it was Reetta as guide.

It’s such a fun experience. Our tour guide Erik was very patient and helpful to us. Highly recommended!

Our guide was very patient and a good teacher for the kids who never done cross country skiing. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it.
Beverley_J, Nov 2021
The trio was fun and it was nice to see some more of Rovenami. The lesson part of it didn't really happen however and getting any real tuition had to be asked for. However, the guide tried so hard to make the day nice and a good experience for is. The arctic bbq for lunch was a wonderful experience too! Walking back up the slopes......a bit tricky as so slippy. Luckily the guide waxed our skis to help with this but then they had so much grip we couldn't really ski!
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Thank you for this feednack. Reetta is a former competitor in skiing and knows skiing very well. It is like driving bicycle first time, need some practising. Usually children are better than adults. Anyway it is worth trying!
Magali_D, Jan 2024
L'organisation de la sortie est un peu approximative mais au final notre animatrice était très sympathique et patiente sachant que nous n'avions jamais fait de ski.
La petite pause chocolat chaud est très appréciable et les paysages merveilleux !

Ein wunderbares Erlebnis im Winter Wonderland. Unser Guide Anita war super und sehr geguldig mit Anfängern.

Thanks for the nice review!

Helaas slechte ervaring. Van de ca.3 uur vd trip zeker 20 min zitten wachten (reeds klaar met benodigd materiaal)voor vertrek en aan einde nog weer 50 min omdat er onvoldoende vervoer was. Nauwelijks 1 uur gelanglauft. Kleding onfris en deels nat. Geen aanspreekpunt ter plaatse.
Nog erger is dat Viator niet serieus omgaat met klacht en afschuift.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Our skiing trip has been very liked for years. On group tours some waiting is always possible as some people come late.

Top, la dame qui s’est occupée de nous était un amour !! D’une gentillesse inégalable!
C’était trop bien !
