Five ways to experience the winter wilderness
Choose a type of trip or tell me what you have in mind, and I'll plan something that suits you.
Northern lights tours
The dark wilderness under an open sky – northern lights without the crowds.
Snowmobile tours
Wide-open fells and frozen lakes – in the sled or on your own snowmobile.
Ice fishing trips
A full day on a fell lake in Arctic char and grayling waters, with a campfire break.
Wilderness trips
A ride into the wilderness – to Halti, Finland's highest point.
Overnight trips
A warm stove tent and a night of silence in the wilderness.

Where I take you
Your guide
A local guide, not mass tourism
I'm Mika Hämäläinen, founder and guide of Arctic Aurora Productions. I have more than 30 years of snowmobiling and dozens of nights camping in the Käsivarsi and Vätsäri wilderness behind me.
I take you to places you'd never find on your own. Routes, gear, permits and safety are my job – yours is to enjoy the wilderness.
Why Arctic Aurora
Real wilderness, carefree days
Just your group
Every trip is planned for your party only. No shared departures with strangers, no queues, no crowds.
A local guide
More than 30 years of snowmobiling and travelling in the wilderness. Routes, weather and ice are known first-hand.
Safe in a wild place
In the wilderness, phone signal is weak or non-existent, and there are no signposts. That's why you travel with a guide who knows the routes – plus a satellite communicator and first aid gear.
