Sisutrek?
Similar to hygge”and fika, sisu is a typical concept from the North. Loosely translated, it means determination and courage, taking action even when the outcome is uncertain. Above all, it’s about remaining optimistic when things get tough. In the wilderness, through all weather conditions, that’s where Sisu truly shines.
Trek refers to the active way we explore the beautiful Finnish nature. On foot, by skis, or paddling – it’s our ideal way to explore the beautiful landscape of the far North.
The story behind Sisutrek
Sisutrek is the passion project of Ruben Claus, a biologist and wilderness guide who fell in love with Finland. After several years of working as a guide in the tourism industry, it was finally time for the next step: creating his own travel organization.
His motto? Getting to know the real Finland through active exploration.
Our logo
The twinflower (Linnaea borealis) is named after the renowned biologist Carl Linnaeus, often referred to as the father of taxonomy.
For us, it symbolizes the vast Finnish nature, with its grand forests, countless lakes and ponds, hills, and valleys. In the boreal forest, just like us, the twinflower thrives.
Often overlooked, yet incredibly beautiful. Judge for yourself on one of our summer trips.
