"From Border to Border" is 440 km long guided ski tour from Russian border to Swedish border, which follows a route near the Artic Circle. In total there are 7 days of skiing and daytrip distances vary between 44 - 78 km. Skiing event is skiied in a classical cross-county style. The event is very international and its popularity grows every year. There are participants coming from all over the world. Every year skiers come to Lapland especially from central Europe and North-America. Sometimes there are also skiers from more distant and exotic countries.
Skiers’ age varies a lot, from 20 to 75 years, and so does their athletic background, skiing skills and experience. There are people who keep them self fit, exercise and are very commited to skiing ,and then there are also people who are skiing just for fun, or even for the very first time. Among the participants there are many of those who are taking part in the skiing event for the first time, but there are also skiers who have became addicted in RR (Rajalta Rajalle). Year after year the same people come to admire the beautiful, clean and quiet spring time nature and to share the unforgettable skiing week together with other friends of skiing spiced by different cultures.
Registration for the ski tour must be done before 31.12. every year. To provide all nesessary services we can take to each group maximum 100 skiers. There will be 4 groups. Local communities of Kuusamo, Taivalkoski, Pudasjärvi, Ranua, Keminmaa and Tornio are responsible for the organisation. You can find more details about the Border to Border skiing event links above.
