About us

 

 

Slow Tourism Lapland is made up of two people. Daria and Krzysztof Nowakowski. We are travelers, polar explorers and people fascinated by Lapland nature. We have been dog sledding for twenty-five years. We organized expeditions and dog sled trips in Lapland and Poland. We made eleven polar expeditions by dog sledding. Now we live in Lapland and we can admire its breathtaking beauty every day. We are also authors and publishers of travel books and children's literature. We have extensive experience in organizing trips and expeditions to cold regions of the world. We've made our way through the snows of the north hundreds of times by dog sledding, on foot, and on skis. We spent many nights in a tent pitched under the sky illuminated by the Northern Lights. We are happy to share our knowledge and experience with our guests. We will be happy to organize your trip in Slow style. No rush or noise. In your own rhythm and with time to admire nature. We invite you.
