Very nice guide, nice tour through the forest, with lots of regional information. It is interpreted the tracks of animals, describing the flora and fauna. Nice was also the break by the campfire with delicious warm juice and Kangas cookies.

A magnificent walk in a splendid and quiet setting. Equipment at the top. Anders is very professional, knows many things and shares very willingly on many topics (fauna, flora, history, current events). He's nice and funny, great with kids. An outing that we recommend without hesitation. We all loved it!

Anders is a very nice and knowledgeable guide. He makes sure that everybody is comfortable and able to follow along. We saw many animal tracks in the forest and Anders knew exactly what they were. We also learned about the behavior of the animals in the forest. The hot juice and cookies next to a campfire were really delicious and a nice break. We also learned about the mining in Kiruna and Sami-culture. This trip is a must for everyone who enjoys nature!

My husband and I were delighted to have 2 snowshoe hikes with Anders. Our first afternoon we went on the Snowshoe Up a Mountain and then the next morning went on the Snowshoe Through the Forest. We had a wonderful experience both times. Anders is a wonderful guide; he is friendly, informative and enthusiastic and readily engages with his new friends and takes expert care of them. The snowshoe equipment was of high quality and poles provided as needed (especially good on the mountain climb and descent). Anders is attentive and makes sure everyone is doing well and enjoying the trip. He is gregarious and full of good stories and information about the area, the flora and fauna, as well as life in Sweden or any questions folks had. The traditional homemade cookies and hot berry juice were great treats to share on the outings. If we have the opportunity to return we would love to enjoy the home dinner experience at his and his wife’s home and/or stay at their Airbnb. We felt not just like customers, but also felt like we have a new Swedish friend! Thank you so much, Anders!
