You arrive where the forest opens to a pale Arctic light: pines stand like ribs, the ground smells of resin, and a river runs low and fast, daring you to learn its patterns. Guides lay out tarps and stoves while steam from a kettle threads the cold air. This is a day of hands-on learning in northern Lapland — a compact school of survival under a wide, low sky.
