So much happened in 2018 that I cannot get the feelings, events and changes in one post. I am going to let these pictures tell the story of the past year. Niin paljon tapahtui vuoden 2018 aikana, etten pysty kuvailemaan tunteita, tapahtumia ja muutoksia yhdessä postauksessa. Annan siis kuvien kertoa tarinan. May the new [...]
I feel that together with Arto we are quite well prepared for everything that comes to hiking with Remu. In addition to our first aid kit, we pack a separate first aid kit of him. We are carrying not only his food, but hydrating powder and energy paste in case of an emergency. We know [...]
I got so depressed after coming home from our hike. The weather changed completely, from the frosty cold to dark, rainy, and slippery. All the magic once seen and felt in Lapland was gone. Now it seems that the winter is actually finally here and as I started planning my next hike I looked a [...]
Käyrästunturi is the cutest place to take a day trip in Rovaniemi! The fell, an hour drive to North from the centrum of Rovaniemi, is not so high, but the view opens to every direction with beautiful sights. There is no hiking trails in Käyrästunturi, but you can hike to the top either on a [...]
We decided to try winter hiking starting from early winter. This time of the year there is not too much snow on the ground yet and we can hike without snowshoes or skis. This meant that we couldn’t get any help from sledge, but we had to carry everything in our backpacks. We knew there [...]
As we had our autumn hike in Pyhä-Luosto national park both Arto and me have been struggling with persistent flu. As our flu has been going on for nearly a month now with running nose and cough, I got to thinking, what did we do wrong and how can we prevent getting sick on our next hike? [...]
In addition to our former tent breaking, we had new needs that required an investment to a new tent. We got Remu and decided on hiking also wintertime. Actually we have been planning on buying a new tent for over a year now, but did not seem to find the right one or we were not [...]

The circle trail is about 15 kilometres and the duration without backpack is around six hours. Choice of the Trail We chose this [...]
Nights are getting even darker and even colder. Last weekend we got to experience the best and the worst that autumn has to offer, as we hiked in Pyhä-Luosto National Park. This is how I prepared for it. Trail: Noitatunturi Summit about 15 kilometres You have to feel a little cold when you start hiking. This [...]
Pallas is one of the greatest places in its area with fells rising far above its groundings. It is easily accessible despite the fact of its location in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park and one of my favorites in Lapland. The place is big and full of day hike possibilities. Out of five summits Taivaskero is the [...]
