About Laponia Adventures
Our story
“At first it was mostly said as a joke. “Maybe we should start a company together”. But after a while we both started consider it an option. At the time we were running our own respective companies, but had started to guide and organize Sarek ski expedition together.
In march 2014 our ski expedition in Sarek national park were hit by a severe snowstorm. The whole group were working hard to reach lower terrain where we could build an emergency camp. Somewhere in that snowstorm, we realized that we worked well together, even in challenging and stressful situations.
In 2016 we finally realized that it would actually be a good idea to start up something together and by the beginning of 2017 Laponia Adventures were up and running.”
We look forward to giving you an unforgettable experience and hope that you’ll return home full of energy and with exciting stories to share.
