Cross country skiing at Saariselkä

None of us had experience skiing, but with the guidance of our guide, Yukka, and countless falls, we gradually got the hang of it. Skiing was truly a workout, never have we felt so warm in freezing temperatures. The activity can be customised to the group’s skiing experience. For our level of experience, we felt the duration of the activity was just right. We also made a pitstop at a husky farm for hot chocolate (payable) and got to see some puppies and sled dogs. (The toilets have no sinks to wash your hands, snow and hand sanitisers were used instead). We ended off the activity with a 400m walk to the carpark, with our skis in tow, and had a nice cup of fruit tea and biscuits in the van. We would like to commend Yukka for his patience and words of encouragement. He made sure everyone had fun while prioritising safety. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

    First snowmobile of the season!
    We booked the late night aurora hunting snowmobile excursion of the season leaving from Saariselka and had an excellent time. We appreciate the itinerary which included some snowmobiling, adequate time looking for northern lights, camp fire with local fare and constellation orientation. Highly recommend!

    Snowmobiling and Ice Fishing with Jukka
    Two of my friends and I went snowmobiling with Jukka. We had a great time snowmobiling and even saw a reindeer and the northern lights. Ice fishing was a new experience for me, but after brief instructions, I felt confident and comfortable out on the ice. Out of my 10+ years of adventuring, Jukka might just be the best guide I've had venturing out into the bush. From the very beginning, he gave instructions clearly, being sure that everyone in the group understood. When, because of conditions outside of his control (i.e. the weather and trail conditions), our situation became dangerous, Jukka decided to end the safari before we reached our original destination. In my experience, only top-notch guides are able to access a situation, recognize dangers, and change plans accordingly without getting overwhelmed. Jukka did all of this quickly and got us out of a potentially dangerous situation. Our excellent guide made for a fantastic safari out in beautiful Lapland.
