An authentic Lapland experience

With a nice cosy log cabin as our base we will head out each day on a different adventure. Spending the week learning how to use nordic backcountry skis and fat biking around the forest with lunch around the camp fire. Once it goes dark we will spend our evenings looking for the northern lights, hoping we get to see the skies dance. To really complete the whole experience you will get to spend the day driving your own sled dog team through the forest.

We will finish the week off with an overnight trip to a wilderness hut where we will spend the night before skiing back the next day. These huts have no electricity or running water and make you feel totally off grid, getting to enjoy the beautiful Lapland landscapes.

Spending the week with a qualified wilderness guide you have the chance to learn some new skills; building the perfect fire, how to whittle a spoon but most importantly how to truly enjoy the Finnish Sauna. This is the perfect week for anyone wanting to have a real authentic Lapland adventure.

WHERE DO I FLY TO?

Ivalo Airport (just 35 minutes from Kiilopää) or Rovaniemi Airport (3.5-hour bus from Kiilopää)

How do I get to the cabin?

If you fly into Ivalo airport there is a local transfer bus after every flight that can drop you off 10 minutes away from the cabin. The busses are less frequent from Rovaniemi so it’s worth checking before you book.

What time do we need to arrive?

We meet at 5pm in our cabin in Kiilopää on the first day of the trip and you are free to leave anytime on the final day of the trip as there are no activities planned.

WHAT SHOULD MY SKIING/SNOWSHOE ABILITY BE?

You don’t need any previous experience we will teach you everything you need to know but you will need a good level of fitness to enjoy the trip. If you have skied before it will help with the basics but the skiing style is quite different so it will be a new experience for you.

WHAT WILL THE GROUP SIZE BE?

We keep our groups nice and small, so we run the trips with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10.

WHAT IS A HUSKY SAFARI?

We visit a local husky farm where we will be taken on a ride through the forest. You will be divided into 2, and you will have your own 6 dog team on your sled. One of you will drive half the journey, the other will sit in the sled, then you swap round. We will have lunch in the middle of the forest, allowing you time to spend with your dogs, and a chance to find out more about the life of a sled dog. Then you will drive your team back to farm where you will go and meet some puppies. The dogs are super friendly and love human interaction.

WHAT IS THE FOOD LIKE?

You will be cooked for in the cabin for the week by one of the guides, except for two evening where you can go try one of the local restaurants and the final evening when the group eats out. The food will home made and using local produce. We will cook some traditional Finnish meals, and eat most of our lunches around the fire. Breakfasts will be buffet style/help yourself and we will have a big dinner together each night.

DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE? 

Yes, travel insurance is a must. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance to cover you for all aspects of this trip, including cancellation.

CAN I COME ON MY OWN? 

Yes of course - most people that join us do! It’s a great trip to meet new like-minded friendly people.

HOW FIT DO I HAVE TO BE?

You need to have a good level of fitness and be happy to be outdoors for 5-6 hours in the day. The conditions can be very testing so you need to be able to manage your layers in the cold too.

What If I don’t want to do an activity?

All the activities are optional, you are more than welcome to opt out of any of them and explore the surroundings yourself or enjoy a day in the cabin. As we have a base for the week there is no pressure to join us with activities.
