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.
