Autumn is dog-training season and one of the most popular times for Finns to holiday in Lapland. Alongside our day adventures and farm visits we run aurora-chasing multi-activity weeks, husky-training camps and guide-training courses.

  • Spectacular ruska colours and active aurora season
  • Husky hiking, paddling, fat biking and hut-to-hut trips
  • Aurora multi-activity weeks (2-, 4- and 7-day options)
  • Behind-the-scenes 'day in the life of a husky guide'

Endless play potential

By September the mosquitoes have gone and the landscape is awash with colour. Choose from husky hiking, hut-to-hut backpacking, kayaking and canoeing, fat biking and northern-lights watching. Nights can already be sub-zero, and crisp mornings sometimes carry hoar frost.

Aurora chasing in autumn

Week-long northern lights multi-activity packages run alongside the guide school, bushcraft courses and training camps. To maximise your chances we can run camps from afternoon into evening, built around water, hiking, biking, huskies or a mix.

Husky-guide training

Guides spend nearly every waking hour with the dogs in autumn, and would-be mushers are welcome at our conditioning camps. Guide-training runs from a one-day taster to a year-long gap-year placement.
