We booked a cross country skiing lesson with Timo as beginners. We had a wonderful time, Timo was such a nice and patient teacher, you could see how he loves and enjoys his work. We learnt a lot und could do our tours (also in the night!) alone during the next days. We rented our complete skiing equipment from sisu outdoor, which was in perfect condition at a fair price. At the end we fell in love with this sport and with the landscape of Akaslompolo. We are looking for our next time in Lapland, we are definitely coming back and visit Timo and Maikku again! Thank you very much!

We booked a x country ski lesson with Timo who was great - there were 4 of us, average age 53. After a 90 minute lession, we felt confident to go solo the next day. 2 of us managed 8km! Won't say how many times we fell over!! Kit was brand new, pricing was good, lovely friendly service. THANK YOU

We booked a 90min cross country skiing lesson with Timo. We had spent a few days out on the cross country trails but needed a bit of guidance, renting skis comping others and YouTube only got us so far.
Very quickly we when to from shuffling to gliding, learnt to control our speed better both in and out of the tracks and gained more confidence. Timo was an excellent teacher and Everyone we met at Sisu was incredibly friendly and helpful. Booking couldn’t have been easier and we’re looking forward to trying out some more of the trails.
We would recommend a lesson with Sisu to anyone wanting quality guidance and instruction as a couple or family.

So we trekked out into the woods to find our Christmas tree on the 23rd December. The skies were clear and it was about -22°C! We had a fantastic guide called Timo who spoke good English and ensured we were warm. Half way through we stopped, and built a small fire with hot drink and snacks to keep us warm. Sisu also do other guided activities such as fat biking, longer snowshoe treks and cross country skiing lessons and hire. Nothing’s too much trouble. A fantastic time out in the Finnish woods.
