ABOUT US

ARCTIC MOUNTAIN GUIDES offers guiding services on the arctic mountains of Northernmost Europe. We operate exclusively above the Arctic Circle in Norway, Finland and Sweden.
Northern Scandinavia offers limitless possibilities for ski and mountain activities. The terrain varies from the white snow deserts of Lapland to the incredible combination of sea, snow and mountains of Norway's coasts. In these vast wilderness areas, there's something for everyone to ski - from wide easy snowfields to narrow mountain ridges and challenging steep couloirs.
The common factor across all our options - whether heli-skiing, ski touring or snowmobile & ski trips - is superb skiing in the breathtaking nature of the North.
Welcome to arctic mountains!!!
AMG GUIDES
PASI IKONEN

Pasi is an experienced ski guide and Arctic Explorer. In 2008, he became the first Finn to ski, unsupported and from the coast, to the South Pole. Although a big achievement, he says that it is often just as cold where he lives, full time, in Finnish Lapland, with his British wife, Anna. They are based in the tiny village of Hetta, 300km inside the Arctic Circle. The high arctic tundra not only provides a perfect training base for Polar Expeditions but it is also a great location for dog mushing. Hence, not surprisingly, quite a bit of their time between December and March is taken up by running safaris with their 250 Alaskan Huskies. Pasi has ISIA International Ski Instructor certification, he is also FINLAV PRO 2 avalanche technician.
MIKA SALOVAARA

Mika has been guiding since 2001. He currently lives in Finland with his three wonderful child and his wife. Mika has also lived for several years in the city of Tromsø in northern Norway, and for a couple of years in the city of Chamonix in the French Alps. The years spent in the mountains and wilderness of Lapland have trained him to be a qualified guide who can take into account the different needs of our customers and take into account the conditions that affect safety on our excursions. He is a certified wilderness guide, EAS European Avalanche Professional, Canadian Ski Guide I and FINLAV PRO 2 avalanche technician. Mika's first passion is skiing and that is why the the Scandinavian mountains provide a perfect play-ground.
