Our team

Mirja Andersson

I have been hiking and working in many different countries around the world but there is something special with the World Heritage Site Laponia. The presence of a living Sami culture together with a fantastic unspoiled nature. It is truly a perfect place to disconnect from your daily life and connect with nature and the people around you.

I am one of the owners of Laponia Adventures and I guide both multi-day tours as well as shorter tours around Jokkmokk and Gällivare. At the office I coordinate the guided tours and rental equipment but also answer your questions and help you with your reservation.

Christian Heimrot

I am genuinely interested in being in nature, and I like to inspire people around me to do the same. Every time I go out I learn something new. From locals that we meet on the trail, from co-workers or from our guest. When I am out with guests I like to share my stories and the stories I’ve heard about the World Heritage Site Laponia.

She has now finished her studies to become a mountain leader and will start guide for us this summer.
