We are Kim and Jan and started Pippin Hikes hiking holidays in 2018. We stay in tepee tents and for the winter we were looking for a nice winter program and soon the idea came to organize a trip to Lapland. And that was a great success. Since the season of 2023/2024 we have our own house and we started Pippin in Lapland. Guests always find us very relaxed and very flexible. We believe that it is your holiday and that you should enjoy it to the fullest.
