Lumikuru tour

Lumikuru is a nice full day trip. The skiing time of the route (excluding pauses) is approx. 6–8 hours. Make an early start at warm sunny April days when the south wall of the Lainio will get soft and heavy to ski up. The Lumikuru has usually a lot of snow. The north face route may be rocky from the upper part. The lower part has steep tree sections that are really fun to ski. During the winter time the day is short. Remember to take a headlamp with you. Take also some pocket money for Kotamaja cafe. See all route variations from “Ylläs backcountry ski routes” page.
