Company information

The Giellajohka crew values the rough, beautiful nature of Lapland. Our place is surrounded by two wilderness areas, where we spend our time hiking and fishing in the summer, skiing and snowshoeing in winter. Berry and mushroom picking, fishing, hunting, hiking, trekking and a variety of other sports are close to the hearts of the Giellajohka crew, never forgetting to stop and enjoy the peace and quietness of the wilderness.
