A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR ADVENTURE LOVERS
Our experienced guides take care of everything on the trip, including all transports, food and guiding all the way to the destination in Kilpisjärvi.
The expedition starts in the morning, with pick-up of guests and then we go to Kurravaara, where the snowmobiles and guides are waiting with packed sleds. The group takes off deep into the wilderness and head for the first camp site, where high-quality heated tents are setup up and decorated with lights, camping beds and a table for a comfortable stay.
Every trip is uniquely planned together with the group, so that the activities are tailored to fit what the group would like to experience. Our options for activities include e.g. ice fishing, wilderness sauna including ice swimming, wilderness skiing, snowshoe walking and northern lights watching. Weather conditions such as clouds, snow, wind and temperature also effects what activities are suitable. Guides take care of preparing authentic arctic food often on the open fire.
