Quebeq ist schon ein Oldie?
Our work with and for the dogs is supported by many volunteer workers, who come to enjoy a wonderful time-out with lots of new experiences here in Lapland. This week in our "workers of Äkäskero" series you can learn more about Cora. After her time with us she is going to study, aiming to make the world of building more sustainable - good luck and much success! 😊

I remember a warm night in this cabin... Upstairs was like a sauna 😅
Wonderful memories Christmas eve 2015. A full moon night and very hot upstairs 😍
Nothing has changed in eight years!😍

It’s time to talk about the birds and the bees 🕊️🐝🥰
Goldie (2015) and Jakal (2015) are some of the lucky chosen ones to be paired up this year, thanks to their strong mental and physical capabilities, their great personalities and of course their good looks 😍😜
Let’s hope we get some mini superstars this summer 🥰🍼✨

I had goldie in my squad. She is so sweet. Can‘t wait to see the puppies from them.

Actually we call this time of the year spring-winter. You can see why: temperatures can and do drop to minus 25 - 30 in the night but might be minus 5 during daytime. It is the time, Scandinaviens come to Lapland for their holidays. Maybe you too. Our last tours will end 22nd of April.

Lapland's winter is turning into early spring with lots of sunshine warming the skin. Both people and dogs could already enjoy their first sunbath for this year 😊

Mega schöne Aufnahmen von der Wildnistour und großes Lob an den Schöpfer des Videos! 👏🐶 Ich hab immer das Gefühl, dass ich da oben in einer gigantischen Schneekugel bin, zu der man nur mit dem Hundeschlitten Zutritt bekommt. Überirdisch schön! 🤩
Was für ein wundervolles Video. Genau so habe ich es auch erlebt. Nun warte ich, mit Wehmut auf meinern Transfair nach Kittilä.🥰
Traumhaft schöne Genuss Momente für die Augen Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video 😍
Danke für dieses wunderschöne Video. Irgendwie hab ich mich gefühlt als stehe ich mit auf dem Schlitten.
It is also important to take a break after a long run, to gain some more energy💪💪
Gröenland's dogs can teach us how to do that😴😅
Thank you for the hospitality and phantastic time we could spend with the dogs and nature🐾🫶🤩
This week in our little "people of Äkäskero" series: Gesa. She joined us as a trainee and is now working her first season as a guide in our team. You will meet her in the "Ellesmere" kennel, amidst our young male dogs that might qualify for breeding. Their level of energy and testosterone is high, but no problem for Gesa!
this is how tour with Ellesmere look like😊
And as one of the tour participants, I can testify that the Ellesmere "Boys" are truly amazing! BIG cheers and hugs to Othello, Emmonak, Quake & Kotka! Missing them already... 😍
wir freuen uns so sehr🥰 und hoffen auf genügend schnee wenn wir ende märz bei euch sind☃️
Latest in two years I will be there 😍👍
Free running pups under the frozen sun ❄️☀️🐶

Meet: Amelie, our guide in the "Finnmark" kennel. If you want to try out dog sledding just for a single day this winter, she will be your guide! Visit our website for availabilites and direct booking of half day or full day tours.
have you ever watched the sunrise while driving on a frozen lake with you own sled?🌞
Kangosjärvi? Yes Maan and I did. Was freaking cold in January 2015 with our wondeful guide Lisa. -38 Celsius.
Yes many many years ago, snoopy was my lead dog 😍
YES! Thx for this.
Yes and I miss it!
Ja, 2002 auf dem Weg von Saarisekä nach Ivalo.
Ich war 5 mal in Lappland davon 2 mal ALASKERO👍👍👍👍
Ooh poor dogs

We stakeout train our pups so that when they are ready to run, they will have an easy time waiting on the stakeout at the start of a tour or overnight at our wilderness cabins.
The ‘R’ litter just smashed it from the beginning 🏆👏
A little meaty distraction always helps of course 🥩 and it teaches them that stakeout equals good things!💪

For sure a meaty treat is always welcome.. Better than a meaty treat ? 2 meaty treats of course.
Learn more about the people behind Äkäskero - this time: Tanita, our highly passionate dog handler and one of the very few "locals" in our international team.
De plus tanita est vraiment très sympathique
Kuusi- one of our wilderness cabins.
the best place to chill after a long day on the sleds
Kuusi.... Such great memories
Kuusi one year ago .... it was so fantastic 🤩
Kuusi was my first stay and is still my favourite.
See you next week 😍
My favorite 🤩
Oh wie toll. Es ist Jahre her, als ich dort war.. Super urig..
Ich war 2008 dort. Ja mit Stirnlampe nachts auf das " Klo". Es war eine wunderschöne Reise. Werde jetzt 70 und kann es leider nicht wiederholen.
Eine der schönsten Hütten. Hab sicher schon 7-8 mal drin übernachtet. Einfach urig und gemütlich. Und das tollste: in 6 Wochen bin ich wieder oben !
Das war meine erste Hütte am letzten Montag. Eine wunderbare Zeit liegt hinter mir und jetzt warte ich auf den Transfair nach Kittilä.🥰
War einfach toll 😱😱🥰
Die Hütte war toll🥰… Nachts mit Stirnlampe aufs Klo😂
Kenn ich doch 😍
Steven BoschOlga Albach!
Alaska is roaring to go, meanwhile Gazelle is not sure about her noisy neighbour 👀😂
Starts are always high energy but once running, the pairs fall into a harmonious rhythm 💪 This Finnmark duo are a match made in heaven and even colour coordinated 🤍🖤

The sun has properly returned to Lapland. For many of us here at Äkäskero this means that our favourite time of the year is about to start. The high season of dog sledding is coming!

The T-pups (wave&Zimba) are already 5.5 months old and really like to run free and to explore the nature around the camp🥰🐶

These yummy shades light up our skies during the mystical polar night months and into the beginning of the new year. In late January, the sun finally returns for a few minutes to warm our skin, marking the end of true polar night in Lapland. Eatable isn’t it? ☺️

Our Camp- and Tourmanager/Panoramatourguide Steffi. Has enough work to reduce her sleepingtime. She also participated in longdistance racing which brought her a big step forward when it comes to be a real musher.
Quilpie is so cute!
🌌🤩Lapland’s wintry night sky with full moon really is one of the most magical things one can experience. What would you wish for if you were to see a shooting star? 🌠 🌚
Gesundheit für meine Familie 🙏 Frieden in der Ukraine 🙏
Eternal love
wow 🤩, wow🤩, wow🤩
Do you prefer to make a dogwalk under the moon or at sunset? You just need to turn around
Best team
Realy not at the steet. I would walk the olidiwalk. But the steet us great vor waching the northen lights.
Last time we were by you, both were impossible 😁
Anytime! 😁
🤩
Introducing our staff: Elisabeth the angel of the oldies
Oh ! Such great memories with the oldies ! They are the best !
I absolutely agree. Very much looking forward to see Elisabeth again in September. And give the oldies as many cuddles as they deserve (though I might not be there long enough for it) 🙂
Definitely a staff member to remember. Elisabeth: An angel & power dogmom! 😍❄️🐺🐾
Kann ich nur bestätigen. Danke dir für die vielen Informationen über die Hunde, die ich von dir bekommen habe. Und auch sogar in der Krankstation mit helfen durfte. Ich vermisse euch alle.
Resistance against the cold: me = 2 😉🥶… Gruss an euren 😇
When the old year is over and the new year is luring us into new adventurs we start to prepare for our Panoramatour. As you know: only for those who already participated in a wilderness-tour. It can be very demanding
This tour is my dream 🤩🙏 I already participated in the Wilderness Tour years ago and this was already amazing.
It is demanding, but great!
Wir freuen uns 😍
Ich erinnere mich gerne an diese Bilder - das war eine super Tour
🌬🌲🌚Driving a team of sled dogs gives you the perfect opportunity to be active, both physically and mentally, while breathing Europes cleanest air and experiencing the beauty of the northern winter mood all day long. 🐕🛷🏃
One of the most fabulous experience you can imagine 🤩
Das waren meine schönsten Urlaube ! ☺️
A trip for me 20 years ago that was live changing- going myself almost exact two years later to Rovaniemi taking higher Education in every possible way for three years 😆
🎆Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Lappland and start the new year in a dreamy cabin where you can relax and admire the landscape near a lake or on an exciting overnight trip with our Huskies, walk over a nearby frozen lake or through the magical snowy winter forest at night or day and enjoy your unique experience here in Lapland. We wish you all a happy New Year 2023 and hope to welcome you soon/again in our Äkäskero Sleddogcenter! 🐾
It always will be a magical place 💗 happy new year to the doggies as well x
Happy new year to all the team! We hope to be back this summer again... Let's see 🤞🤞🤞
Happy New year!⭐️
🤩
Some of our crew did not need to work on Christmas-evening and had a nice time together. Merry Christmas to all from our international crew: Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Kenya, Israel, France
🎄💝The Äkäskero-Team wishes you a Merry Christmas and some peaceful, happy moments with your family members and friends 🎁🎅🏼
Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année
Quilpie guards the Christmas tree and gifts for employees. Hope she is doing a good job until evening.
I remember Quilpie... with lot's of love!
Quilpie looks pretty similar to our dog Testone - a former stray dog vom Sicily
Euch Allen ein schönes und friedvolles Weihnachtsfest. Ich habe ein wunderbares Weihnachtsgeschenk bekommen - eine Patenschaft für Geronimo

Being out in the darkest time of the year and enjoying the silence of Lapland
So many good memories...🙏
I knew them! Very, very nice. Will never forget this adventure!
The best time of my life
So nice memories !!!
Schöni Erinnerige 🥰 Kilian Zemp

🐾🐕 we took REYKJA and four of her brothers for a little run with the snowmobile and they loooooooved it. Next time we are going to try it with all eight puppies 🙈🤪
They seem to be enjoy themselves! But please Äkäskero which music is this ?
So cool😍
Dan Schwarzbacher 😍
☃️🌠Lapland is still experiencing some fairly chilly days with a bit of snowfall every now and then. The trees look more like some big trolls watching over you while snowshoeing/skiing/hiking/sledding through the magical winter forest. The changes of the light throughout the day are really captivating and the northern lights in the night sky a real treat. And all you need at the end of the day is a warm, cosy fire where you enjoy some hot drinks and a bite to eat 🔥🪵
Magnifique
Le paradis 🙏😘
J'imagine...un rêve sans doute ! Joyeuses fêtes à vous .
Wir freuen uns im März 2023 wieder bei euch zu sein.
Wunderschön.
Sehnsucht 😍😍
Brigitte Brauer guck dir das an
Astrid Jansen De Leeuw , nog een keer?
Brigitte Braeuer Bei guck dir das an
🐾🐕🛷 Heading out on overnight tour with the doggies on crunching snow in minus 26 degrees. The clear sky is ideal to search for all the different star signs and with a bit of luck you might even see some northern lights tonight 🤩💫🌌
🥰Our three problem children from this summer are doing very well. SIILI, SLIGO & SULO are now four and half months old and really enjoying the leash and sit training 🦮
Why were they problem children?
These eyes! 😛 😛 😛
It is the time of the blue light. The sun staying below the horizon is giving us this beautiful time.
Äkäskero the "snowhole" of Lapland. When others have to cancel their tours because of not enough snow, we are out and our tours are on.
🤓🥩Trying to teach TULCA, TUULI, TASIILAQ, TENO & TALVIK some patience when it comes to feeding. Daddy ZIMBA definitely passed on the squeaky voice and a certain degree of madness. They still need to learn a lot but they are already doing a pretty good job eating from their own bowl, don’t you think? 🤪🙈
What a job!
Liebe Susi ganz liebe Grüße von mir 🙋♀️
👏
Our first guests of the winter are heading out on the trail.
Team:
GALILEO (2017) VISKAN (2017)
GANDHI (2017) GATSBY (2017)
Wish you a good and safe season 💪
🗻☃️Here are some more winter impressions from Finnish Lapland. We had a few days with minus twenty degrees so the smaller lakes are already frozen but the rivers not quite yet. In the meantime the most famous fore-legged inhabitant of the North is braving the cold like no other animal here, looking stunning and gorgeous in any pose. 🦌🥰
Miss you so much…🥺❤️I‘ll come back
Hâte de venir vous voir en Janvier
We are are out on sleds..... That is, why we all are here
Thanks to Steffi for sharing
Es sieht toll aus. Danke das Ihr mehr postet, auch wenn dadurch das Fernweh größer wird🤗
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jolanda Pongelli-Vecchio ❤️🐶
If you have not seen enough of the nordic lights
Besides our dogs we like most the 1000 kinds of lights in the north. Thanks to Oryan for the great work
🌅 Soon we are slipping into polar night, in Finnish known as Kaamos, during which there is no sunrise above the Arctic Circle. Although the sun stays below the horizon, sunlight still reaches the upper layers of the atmosphere, allowing some colorful light through. Blue and soft violett tones are typical for the polar night sky.
Even though the sun officially still rises for about three hours, we already experience some nice mysterious morning and evening sky colors. 🌌
As usual the most beautiful natural light ever !
My favorite color 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
🤔Do you remember our first litter from this year, the R-litter? They are now 4 months old and - as you can see - have incredibly big ears 😆
🦮 All now listen to the command sit and are already quite comfortable with the collar and the leash.
However, RAFIKI & RAKAS seem to be the late bloomer of this litter, needing a little longer to understand and learn certain things ☺️
So viele Buben 😀
Lara MacNaughton ❤️
