Lapland & Norway · Licensed Guide
Small groups. Real wilderness. A local guide who has called Lapland home for over 15 years.
Trail Tailor is Tuija Laitakari — a licensed wilderness guide with 15+ years living and working in Lapland and Norway. Every adventure is shaped around you: your pace, your interests, your moment in the wilderness.
No large groups, no cookie-cutter itineraries. Just you, the landscape, and a guide who genuinely loves every trail, fell and river in this part of the world.
What we offer
Snowshoe or ski through snowy boreal forests and ancient fells with a local guide. Choose your hour — sunrise, sunset, or under the stars.
Fatbike through groomed winter trails in snowy forests and over ancient fells. Available morning, afternoon or under the northern lights.
Ski or snowshoe, toboggan at full speed, cook a three-course meal on an open fire. Add sauna & ice swimming for the full Finnish experience.
Ski or snowshoe expedition into the national park pulling a sled. Sleep under a spruce tree, in a tent or wilderness hut. Cook dinner and breakfast together over the fire in the Arctic winter.
A hidden gem. Paddle from the most northern point of the EU across prehistoric Pulmankijärvi, down the meandering Pulmanki river and the border river Teno to the shores of the Arctic Ocean in Norway.
Epic bikepacking expedition across Arctic Finland, Sweden and Norway. Single trails, gravel, downhill in Lyngen. Wilderness huts. No limits.
Bike through Samiland's extraordinary sand dunes and ridges, then paddle down Pöyrisjoki river. One of a kind wilderness adventure on the Finnish-Norwegian border.
Your guide
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.
