Set in the most mountainous terrain of Finland, the Kasivarsi Wilderness Area is located in the northwestern corner of the country. This expansive Lapland region is notorious for hilly skiing conditions in the remote countryside along the border with Norway and Sweden.

You should be in great physical shape and possess strong skills as a skier. The backcountry in Lapland and the Kasivarsi Wilderness Area is desolate and challenging, which means you should also have the mental fortitude to complete this sustained expedition.
