Memories for life
From husky rides to hiking trails. From four seasons to eight. People who live in the Arctic Circle love being active and spending time outdoors is part of everyday life. The activities adapt to weather and each season has its’ own high-lights – the only two facts you can depend on no matter the season is that whenever we have a day off we pack snacks, firewood and head out together with friends or family. It’s not about a quick fix. Let the fire take its time. Don’t worry if the fish doesn’t bite on your first ten casts. On the eleventh, it might – or not, but that’s fine too. Come explore what outdoor experiences await you in the Arctic Circle.
