About
Join us for a serene adventure deep into the heart of authentic Lapland, where untouched landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see. Depending on the season, our journey will lead us across dry ridges, lush forests, and soft, wet bogs — each offering a unique glimpse into the rhythm of Arctic nature.
The highlight of our trip is foraging for nature’s own superfoods. Depending on the time of year, the forest floor is adorned with treasures such as golden cloudberries, juicy blueberries, vibrant crowberries, tart lingonberries, and bright cranberries. Each participant will receive their own berry container, allowing you to gather these fresh, nutrient-rich delicacies at your own pace.
But this experience is about much more than just berry picking. As we move through the peaceful wilderness, we’ll take time to soak in the beauty of the landscape — the shifting colors of the forest, the fresh, pure air, and the calming silence broken only by the sounds of nature. Along the way, we’ll pause for a well-deserved break on a soft, mossy mound, allowing you to truly connect with the land and recharge your senses.
Whether you find your container brimming with berries or simply a few precious handfuls, the real gift of this journey lies in the connection to nature, the peaceful moments, and the memories created in the heart of Lapland.
Please note: Berry availability depends on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed — but the magic of the experience is always certain.
