Snowscooter Safaris
Moottorikelkkasafarimme vaihtelevat muutaman tunnin retkistä usean päivän safareihin. Teemme safareita sekä valmiilla kelkkailureiteillä että niiden ulkopuolella.

Hunting Trips
Grouse has always been a valued bird in Enontekiö as in ancient times it provided people with important extra nutrition. The grouse hunt with a seasoned guide and trained dog is an unforgetable experience. We employ German Wirehaired Pointers as our hunting hounds.
We organise hunting trips in a ready-made package encompassing a guide, accommodation, catering, and equipment if necessary. One guide and one dog can lead 2-3 hunters on a trip depending on experience levels. A weapons licence, hunting card, and small game permit from the Metsähallitus (Forest Stewardship Council) should be obtained by the hunters themselves in advance.
Grouse season is at its peak in the Enontekiö fell area from the end of September right up until the end of March, weather permitting. Grouse season begins on 10 September and ends on 31 March.
Our accommodations are located within prime spots for grouse hunting, and no previous hunting experience is required as long as all permits and licences are in order: we will give you guidance and experience.
We will be glad to advise you on choosing the right hunting spot and in acquiring permits. We also hunt in Norway and Sweden.

We arrange fishing triips to Enontekiö's unique fishing spots where large graylings and other wild fish await the fisherman's hook. No previous experience is needed, and you can come along with us as a complete beginner. We will furnish you will all the requisite equipment for fishing in the wilderness. You will also have an experienced guide who will impart to you the knowledge and skills you need.
