Arctic Circle Ski Expedition

This trip surpassed my expectations, which were high to begin with. The scenery and conditions were simply breath taking, and we saw the Northern Lights on multiple occasions, including a real 'light show' (thanks for reserving clear skies for us, Joose!). Required some strength and fitness, but everybody did ok. Joose is a lot of fun to be with, and was a great guide for this adventure. I really hope to come back and do more exciting stuff in the far north with him! Thanks Joose (and Hena).

A beautiful place to ski through. This definitely requires a decent level of fitness and resistance to cold and long days. We had plenty of food, warm and cosy huts and very helpful guides!

What an amazing experience!! A true expedition. You rarely get the opportunity to completely disconnect from the hustle and bustle of normal life. It’s tough, the terrain is not flat and the conditions are harsh (I went in February) but it’s 100% doable. I was rewarded with a sense of accomplishment that no other experience has given me to date. Do it!!

This trip was an exceptional experience. We enjoyed 6 days in the beautiful arctic landscape, away from phone reception, cosy nights in cabins after a hard day skiing (playing lots of cards), multiple sightings of the northern lights as well as seeing a few reindeer. The trip felt like a real expedition into the wilderness - which is just what we were after. Our guide Joose was very knowledgeable and great fun to hang out with and we learned a lot about hiking in sub-zero temperatures - thank you!

Brilliant trip. A true taste of the wilderness. Joose is a fantastic guide and looked after us very well. It was great to learn a few winter survival techniques. Physically challenging and hugely rewarding with the most beautiful scenery.

Our trip with Joose through the wilderness in northern Finland was absolutely brilliant. He was a superb guide, full of knowledge and experience as well as loads of energy and enthusiasm! An absolute pleasure to spend the week with. We were very lucky with conditions, there were blue skies most days and northern lights on three nights. The skiing was arduous but by no means unachievable provided you are fairly fit and determined. It is completely worth it to experience the scenery and landscapes. The evenings in the remote cabins (or tents if you’re feeling extra adventurous) are just as much a part of the experience as the skiing. There’s no electricity, phone reception or WiFi, so look forward to card games by head torch, roasting sausages in front of the stove and a few well-earned drinks in the evenings.

I can't recommend this trip highly enough. We were a group of 6 plus Joose our guide. It was awesome, a really great, remote experience. It's very rare you don't see other people for a day - aside from reindeer and a few ravens, we didn't see anyone else for nearly 6 days. It's a challenging trip but definitely worth it.

The trip was fantastic - a really amazing experience. The guide was really knowledgeable and friendly and happy to help in any situation. The route was beautiful - I didn't see anyone else for 5 days! Even though the conditions were tough at times (cold temperatures you don't experience in the UK) I always felt safe and well looked after. Thank you for a great experience I will never forget!
