Meet your guide

Janne is a local from Ivalo and the guide on every tour. He knows the area, the weather and the sky – and he doesn’t follow the crowds.

Instead of the busy spots where every tour bus stops, Janne takes you to quiet places he has found over the years – for aurora hunting, ice fishing on Lake Inari and skiing in untouched forest snow. Groups are small, so there’s always time for your questions, photos and a cup of something hot.

Local people, small groups and a genuine Lapland experience – welcome!
