Top Highlights

  • Arctic CircleSix days on snowshoes in Finnish Lapland, where the sun barely clears the horizon in January and the forest is completely silent.
  • Pyhä-LuostoTykky is snow that loads onto the spruces until they bend into shapes — a metre or more of it on a single tree.
  • PyhätunturiIsokuru is the deepest gorge in Finland and in winter it is a slot of packed snow with the light coming in sideways.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Good value for what's included.

Finnish Lapland in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Worth every rupee.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Worth every rupee.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Good value for what's included.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
