From snowy ground to splashing shores! Our kennels at Äkäskero have undergone a transformation with the melting snow. In one corner, we have dry and cozy kennels ready for our furry friends, while in the other corner, a small lake has formed, turning our kennels into an unexpected water playground! 🌞🐾💦 Embracing the changing seasons with happy wagging tails.

Dann komme ich wieder zu euch.😍
Spring is coming, days are warmer 🌞 Meaning early starts for our doggies, guides and guests, to catch the morning frost ❄️
It’s worth it though, to see the sunrise and it’s magnificent hues on the beautiful landscapes 😍

Cheers to the most lovely Huskies... I am convinced that the pastel colours were invented in Lapland 😍🤗

Spring is quickly melting away the remaining snow and opening up frozen rivers & lakes. Laplands amazing nature is waking up again, so lots of different wildlife & birds can be seen and heard in the woods now. And our red-nosed friends are back on the roads as well 😊

March/April is the time for our Panoramatour
The early spring days in Lapland are becoming longer and longer. We are currently enjoying lots of clear skies - meaning sunshine during the days and northern lights in the evenings. A magical time!

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. ... See MoreSee Less

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💪💪

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! ... See MoreSee Less

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!💪

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 😍

Alaska is roaring to go, meanwhile Gazelle is not sure about her noisy neighbour 👀😂

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? ☺️
