For the whole of his life, Saku has been a common sight at the fells of Ylläs, first as a regular visitor and later as a permanent resident. His greatest motivation to guide in Ylläs stems from his deep love for the area — his goal is to make every visitor here fall in love with it, too.

During the Winter season this certified wilderness guide is at his happiest when he gets to stand on skis of any kind. Occasionally it's also a lot of fun to spend a day ice fishing, snowshoeing or snowmobiling. When the Summer arrives, it's easiest to spot Saku on the trails, either mountain biking or running. Quite often he also finds himself kayaking or fishing on the Arctic waters.

As you can tell from the above, you'll most likely be guided by Saku on our human-powered tours. Beware of some low-quality jokes, they are usually guaranteed.

Saku speaks: Finnish, English, on a good day also German & Swedish

This is one of the guys that used to spent their winters somewhere tropical, scuba diving and hanging out on sandy beached. Until he, for a change, visited Lapland around ten years ago. Since then his favourite beaches have been located North of Polar Circle and freetime is spent more on than under water.

Aku just recently got his guide education, but he has gained a lot of knowledge and skills on his own expeditions when hiking, on the fells, paddling on the rivers, riding mountain bike in the forests and playing in the snow with snowmobiles.
