Border to Border ski is 420 km long guided ski tour in Northern Finland. The route follows near the Arctic Circle from Russian border to Swedish border. The event is on the bucket list of every enthusiastic cross-country skier. Welcome to join us!
Registration for 38. Border to Border -skiing will be opened on 1.8.2022. Before that you can sign up for the waiting list. There is plenty of available places in all groups. Due our registration platform properties there is incorrect notification on the startpage for waiting list claiming that event is full, please disregard that. Waiting list is not binding and you can make decision after you have received email that there is vacant place available to you. Due the constantly rising costs we can tell exact participation fee when registration opens. Currently it seems that fee for 2023 will be around 1430-1450€. We are doing our best to keep fee raise minimal as possible.
Those participants who are transferred from 2022 to 2023 will receive confirmation email on 23.6. We have kept your group selection and other details. If you need to change your group, please send email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
My sad duty is to announce that ski organization has made following decision.
In this deteriorating Covid-19 situation and with constantly tightening new restrictions we have to cancel 2022 Border to Border -skiing. As we are responsible event organizer and our top priority is our participants health and safety we have no other option than do this decision. We continue our work with this unique event, and our strongest will is that 38. Border to Border -skiing takes place in 2023.
We have sent email for all the participants and instructions what to do next. Our inbox is pretty full due this cancellation so please be patient, we will reply for everyone.
For us it is time to quiet down for Christmas and we will be back on work 3.1.2022. We wish you all merry Christmas and happy new year!

The organizers of Border to border –skiing event: the city of Kuusamo, the municipality of Taivalkoski, the city of Pudasjärvi, the municipality of Ranua, the municipality of Keminmaa and the city of Tornio have decided on Wednesday 23 September 2020 not to organize Border to border skiing in March 2021 due to a coronavirus pandemic.
