Skitur på Finnmarksløpstraseen inn til Kirkenes

# Ski along the legendary Finnmarksløpet route Dream of following the same route as Norway's toughest dog sledders? Now you can! Start at Brattli where Finnmarksløpet crosses the main road, and ski the charming stage inland towards Kirkenes. The route goes through beautiful mixed forest right behind the historic mining area – a perfect blend of nature and industrial heritage. Best time? The weeks before or after the actual race, when the tracks are freshly marked and blue trail markers show the way the entire distance. At Lionshytta north of the border mountain, you can choose between northern or western ski trails – both lead you down to the lit trail that glides directly into Kirkenes. A day trip that gives you some of the excitement of Finnmarksløpet – without the dog team!
