Our Way of Working in Kilpisjärvi
Our approach is shaped by the Arctic environment of Kilpisjärvi. Weather, terrain, and seasonal conditions define how experiences are planned and guided. We work with nature, not against it, and adapt each tour to current conditions.
Small Groups and Personal Guidance
We work exclusively with small groups and private guests. Group size is limited to a maximum of 12 participants, allowing personal guidance, flexibility, and a calm pace in nature.
Small groups improve safety, reduce environmental impact, and create space for genuine experiences in the Arctic landscape.
Safety and Local Knowledge
Safety is a core element of all our experiences. Our guides have strong local knowledge of Kilpisjärvi and the surrounding wilderness areas, including changing weather patterns and terrain conditions.
Careful planning, clear communication, and realistic expectations are essential parts of our guiding philosophy.
Seasonal Arctic Conditions
Our operating season follows natural Arctic conditions rather than traditional tourism seasons.
We operate from late summer and early autumn (August–September), when the tundra changes colour and light conditions evolve, through the entire snow season from November to May, including early winter, mid-winter, and spring snow conditions.
Each season requires a different approach, equipment, and mindset.
Responsible Travel in Arctic Nature
We guide responsibly and with respect for fragile Arctic environments. Small groups, thoughtful route choices, and attention to local conditions help minimise impact on nature.
We also share knowledge about Arctic environments and responsible behaviour, helping guests better understand the place they are visiting.
