Your guide

Tuija Laitakari

Tuija has been guiding in Lapland and Norway since 2017, but her connection to this landscape runs much deeper — over 15 years of skiing, biking, paddling and exploring every corner of these fells and rivers.

Her dog Suga is her faithful trail companion, and often joins the adventure. Tuija guides in Finnish, English and Swedish.

Every trip is genuinely tailored — not just in name. She will adjust the route, the pace and the day based on who you are and what you want from the wilderness.
