Spend a night in the Pyhä-Luosto National Park and experience life as an Arctic explorer. You will learn survival skills for extreme conditions and sleep in a self-built quinzee.

Pyhä Overnight Survival Course

Picking you up from your hotel at 1 pm, we will embark on our Arctic adventure to the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Our first activity will be an Arctic survival class in the heart of this snow-covered forest.

During the class, we will review essential equipment for explorers, such as a sleeping bag, mattress, and waterproof warm clothing. Following this, we will enjoy a typical Arctic dinner of bread and sausages.

Once re-energized, we will learn about the Lappish igloo, the quinzee. After a guide's explanation, we will use shovels to build one ourselves.

After completing the quinzee, we will test our skills by spending the night inside it. In the morning, we will have a breakfast of a hot drink and chocolate.

The trip concludes with a return to your hotel around 9 am.
