Welcome to an unforgettable Arctic bushcraft adventure in the heart of Finnish Lapland! For one week, you'll be immersed in the pristine wilderness, staying in a traditional Finnish log cabin nestled on the edge of Urho Kekkonen National Park.
Each day, we’ll venture out on snowshoes or backcountry Nordic skis to explore the breathtaking snowy landscapes, learning essential bushcraft skills like fire-making and whittling along the way. We'll pause to warm up in cosy wilderness cabins and share stories around the campfire, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Arctic. One evening, we'll set out to chase the magical Northern Lights before finishing the week with an overnight adventure to a remote off-grid wilderness cabin.
