Kilpisjärvi is a dream destination for all snowkite enthusiastics. It offers landscape for kiting you did not think could be possible, and eventough this area is pure wildredness, snowkiters of all levels can enjoy it safely with the help of our experienced guides.

At the Kilpisjärvi Exploration we aim to find the best possible locations for each day. This can be accomplished with the local motor sled drivers and Finlands most experienced snowkite specialiced outdoor guide Mika Björkman.

Kilpisjärvi exploration is dream week in small group and full support! What more there is to ask?

Who is Kilpisjärvi Exploration for?

Kilpisjärvi has practically endless amounts of mountain area that is very suitable for snowkiters of all levels. There are frozen lakes, mellow hills and a bit steeper hills. Our guides are there to help you to find the suitable terrain for your skill levels.

We don´t recomend this to first year kiters but basic snowkiteskills are enough. Snowshoes, touring skiis or splitboards are required from all participants as a safety measurement. If you don´t have your own we offer rental service for all these options. All the other safety equipment is provided by us and you will be accompanied by our guide and motor sled driver thruout the week.

How is the terrain?

At 2022 our team headed out for a full week expedition to explore the vast terrain of Kilpisjärvi.
