✨ There’s a lot of talk in tourism about locality, stories, and authenticity. I wanted to share ours with you—a small moment of storytelling, revealing the deepest and most distant roots that still continue to grow even today.
And yes, this story is true. Like everything we do❤️.
✨ The Story of Noita Torajainen & Soma Adventures
In Lapland, the tale of Noita Torajainen is still told—a powerful woman and shaman of Western Lapland, whose deep knowledge of nature and the spirits of the wilderness was passed down through generations. Her daughter’s union with Kuhmuotta Juho gave rise to a family that rooted itself permanently in the forests and fells of Kittilä.
Right here, on the very lands we call home.
Today, Torajainen’s heritage lives on strongly and uniquely through Soma Adventures in its own way. Two of your guides, me Heli and my cousin Ellen, are her direct descendants, and you can truly feel it in the way we lead our journeys and moving with the natural rhythm of this land, with you as our adventure companion.
Our tours are anything but ordinary.
They carry the stories of the North, a sprinkle of playful magic and humor, softness, the wisdom of silence, and a touch of that same profound nature knowledge Torajainen once embodied. We also want to hear your story if you want to tell us🫶🏻.
The roots of Soma Adventures run deep here. Like you can see.
Authentically and wholeheartedly—not as a label, but as a lived reality.
And out there on the trail, you’ll feel it too. 🤗
