Xwander Nordic is a premium outdoor adventure and travel company based in Ivalo, Lapland. We specialise in creating authentic, small-group and tailor-made journeys into the unspoiled wilderness of Northern Finland and Norway — from Arctic snowfields to summer tundra!
Xwander Nordic offers a full range of services: guided activities (hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, fat biking, fishing), comfortable accommodations, equipment rental, logistics and transport, as well as courses, camps, event planning — even support for film-production crews scouting the rugged beauty of Lapland.
Our winter holiday packages combine the best Arctic experiences: chasing the Aurora Borealis, electric snow scooter rides, backcountry skiing, snowmobile safaris, traditional Finnish saunas, ice-fishing, open-fire meals, wilderness treks, and Sami culture encounters.
We also offer summer and autumn programmes: tundra treks under the midnight sun, SUP expeditions, fishing, bushcraft courses, sauna experiences, and peaceful escapes into pristine nature.
We emphasise ecological responsibility by promoting low-impact activities such as hiking and snowshoeing and using electric snow scooters or renewable fuels instead of gas where possible.
We strive to support local communities: we source from local suppliers, support reindeer herders and local farms, respect local cultures, and encourage a year-round sustainable tourism model.
Our team of experienced wilderness guides speak multiple languages (English, French, German and Spanish), ensuring that every guest feels welcome and safe, no matter their background.
