Wie is Pippin?
Wij zijn Kim en Jan en zijn in 2018 Pippin Hikes wandelvakanties begonnen. We overnachten daarbij in Tipitenten en voor in de winter zochten we een leuk winterprogramma en al snel kwam het idee om een reis naar Lapland te gaan organiseren. En dat was een groot succes. Voor het seizoen van 2023/2024 hebben we ons eigen huis en zijn we een half jaar in Lapland. Gasten vinden ons altijd erg ontspannen en zeer flexibel. Wij vinden dat het jouw vakantie is en dat je daar op en top van moet genieten.
