Sailing at Pallas

Sailing at Pallas

Come to experience beautiful hights of Pallas with us!

The day starts when TalviSurf.fi van picks you up from your location and we head towards Pallas National Park. At Pallas Hotel we put snow shoes on and start climbing uphills taking windsurfing gear with us. At the end of walk it's time to drink something warm and watch the beautiful scenery around us. Sometimes it might be foggy, but you don't know until you get there. After the break we see how the rigging is done and put protectors on.

The main thing is sailing by wind power alone and admiring the scenery! If there are more people than sleds, meantime can be used for rest, fresbee golf, snow balls or just fooling around. At the end we make camp fire and some coffee and sausages.

We recommend to put on good winter shoes or boots, warm sport underwear and wind proof suit on top of it. It does not get cold at all when sailing, but when waiting you will like to have thicker jacket on. Take thin skiing gloves for sailing and some thicker ones or warming up (your hands will get numb if you hold the boom with thick gloves). TalviSurf.fi will bring protectors, but own helmets and goggles are recommended.

With all walking up- and downhill it takes about 6 hours, daylight is around 10 am to 4 pm. In the spring day gets longer.

Package contains transportation, teaching, snow shoes, sailing equipment, protectors, coffee, sausages and some warm drink uphills. Take a note, we do not go sailing in strong winds, when it gets too cold or visibility is poor. It's easy to start sailing, but climbing uphill takes some will and time. We offer service normally in English and Finnish, but if booked separately, also Russian and German are possible.

Varusteiksi suosittelemme urheilukenkiä tai talvisaappaita, hyvän urheilukerraston alle ja tuulenpitävän asun päälle (purjehdittaessa ei tule kylmä ensinkään!) sekä lämpimän takin odotusaikaa varten. Hanskoiksi kannattaa ottaa ohuet hiihtohanskat tai työhanskat sekä rukkaset tai paksut toppahanskat lämmittelyä varten. Suojavarusteet tulevat purjehtijoille Talvisurfin toimesta, mutta esimerkiksi omat laskettelukypärät ja lasit voi ottaa mukaan.

Kesto siirtymisineen n. kuusi tuntia. Päivänvalon aikaan klo 10-16, keväämmällä mahdollisuus myöhäisempäänkin kellonaikaan.

Sisältää kuljetukset, opetuksen, lumikengät, purjehduskaluston, suojavarusteet, kahvit, makkarat ja lämpimän juoman tunturiin.

HUOM! Säävaraus, kovalla tuulella tai sumussa ei purjehduksia tunturissa.

Vaikeusaste: Itse talvisurffaus on helppo opetella ja liikkeelle pääsee jo heti alussa. Tunturiin kapuaminen vaatii luonnollisesti reipasta asennetta!

Saatavissa suomeksi ja englanniksi, myös venäjäksi ja saksaksi erikseen tilattaessa.
