What if every step took you deeper into three different worlds? On this trek you’ll cross Finland, Norway, and Sweden in a single journey, trekking through fells glowing with autumn colors, drinking from pure Arctic streams, and sleeping under northern skies.
For seven days in total, the trail leads you across tundra highlands, valleys, and mountains, with daily distances of 10–15 km. You’ll carry your pack, camp in wild places, and share evenings beside gas stoves while the silence of Lapland settles around you. Along the way, you may spot reindeer herds, rare arctic flora, or even the elusive fox as you pass from one country to another. Each night, as the sky darkens, the aurora may surprise you with its shimmering dance.
The adventure includes high-quality tents, warm sleeping bags, and two nights in a comfortable hotel before and after the trek. With full guidance and logistics arranged, it’s an ideal way to experience one of Lapland’s most scenic routes. Join us to hike beyond borders — and return home with memories of landscapes that know no limits!

Reviews
- MTMarkus T.about provider18 Mar, 2025Our 4-day ski touring adventure in the Kilpisjärvi region was absolutely fantastic. The landscapes were surreal - a winter wonderland at its finest. Joona and Minttu were our guides, and their calm, confident leadership made the whole journey feel both safe and exciting. There were challenging routes for the adventurous and easier ones for those wanting to enjoy the scenery. At the end of each day, we could either stay in cozy wilderness cabins or brave the elements and sleep in tents - a true Arctic experience! If you’re looking for a meaningful, nature-based adventure - this is the one. Can’t recommend it enough!
- EEmmaabout provider25 Feb, 2025Joona and Minttu truly turned our trip into something magical. Their professionalism, deep knowledge, and ability to support everyone in a mixed-level group really stood out. You can tell how much they care - they shared their best tips, made sure everyone was safe and happy, and did it all with so much heart and humour. They’re not just great guides - they’re genuinely amazing people! My 4-day ski expedition was an experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommended with all my heart ❤️
- LLiamabout provider6 Jan, 2025Exploring the Arctic winter in Lapland with snowshoes was something I’ll never forget. The conditions were intense, but that’s exactly what made it such an adventure. Our guides, Minttu and Joona, were absolute legends - knowledgeable, prepared, and incredibly supportive. What made it even more special was the bond we formed - we began the trip as clients and guides, and ended it as friends. Thank you both for creating a truly standout experience. I’ll be recommending this trip to every fellow adventurer I know!
