Hiking and Trail Consultation

Let’s plan a trip you can enjoy with peace of mind

A successful trip begins long before you take your first step. A well-planned route, the right gear, and a realistic schedule make a hike or kayaking trip safer, smoother, and, above all, more enjoyable.

I offer personalized wilderness and route consultations for everyone from those planning their first hike to more experienced hikers. The consultation is based on my own experiences in the Finnish wilderness, cross-country ski tours in the north, and international hiking trails. You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation, and for longer sessions, a separate hiking consultation slot will be reserved.

Together, we’ll go over the specific goals of your trip or your group’s trip and plan an itinerary that matches your skill level, the season, and your preferences.
