Primitif Aventure is an outdoor activity operator based in Inari, Lappi, specializing in guided Arctic experiences. The company offers a focused selection of winter and seasonal activities including snowshoe hikes, dog‑sled safaris, ice fishing introductions, guided kennel visits, nocturnal snowshoeing, snowmobile sled excursions, and Altaï skiing tours. Trips range from short one‑hour safaris to multi‑hour guided excursions designed for visitors seeking authentic encounters with Lapland landscapes.
Guided walks such as the 2-hour Balade en raquette and the Raquette Nocturne emphasize quiet exploration, wildlife insight, and opportunities to view the northern lights. Musher-led experiences include a 1-hour Traineau à chien and a 2-hour Traineau à chien, where participants drive a sled, learn basic mushing skills, and meet Taïmyr dogs. Visite guidée du chenil and visite de chenil hiver provide short immersive visits focused on the kennel, giving guests hands-on time with dogs and background on the breed and conservation care. The initiation à la Pêche Blanche offers two hours of traditional ice fishing instruction at a frozen lake. Seasonal Cani‑randonnée packages (estival and hivernal) combine kennel visits, sauna and Nordic bath relaxation, lakeside meals, a boat ride, an overnight kota stay, and breakfast — creating a Nordic evening experience. Excursions like the Excursion nocturne dans un traineau a motoneige and the ski Altaï tour expand options for evening and technical outings. All activities are described as guided and include time for guest interaction with dogs and local winter culture, making the offerings well suited for travelers seeking authentic Lapland experiences today.
