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.

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.
