This was a 6 days cross country ski tour organized by Anne and Hannu Rauhala owners of the Fell Trek travel organisation. Hannu was our guide and Anne did the fine cooking and the logistics.

The tour goes mainly over the fells of the Finnish Pallas-Ounastunturi national park, 200 km north of the Pole circle (see the maps, but the locations are estimated, because i did not owned a GPS at that time). The round-topped heads of the fells in this park rise 500 meters above the surrounding landscape.

We made this tour from 18-23 March 2001 under excellent whether conditions: blue ski, no wind and a temperature in the range –30 to –10 °C.

Our group was composed of 7 people of Italy, 2 of France, 2 of Germany and 3 of Holland.
