Our story

We invite you to our home hills like a long-lost friend! Welcome to the village!

Once upon a time, the first people came to this village of Sirka, surrounded by fells and waters, along the road marked by the North Star. They passed through the holy pass, like through a gate to the village, where they found a home under the shelter of Levitunturi and Kätkätunturi. In the village, Tietäjä's drum echoed from the fells by the campfire as the evening faded into blue. The scientist guided us to keep in touch with arctic nature, which teaches us to stop at its wonders, to sense and be impressed, to fall in love, to heal and to be empowered.

His drum called deeper into the magic of the arctic evening, towards the northern edge of the sky, where the North Star, the Polar Star, shines brighter than anywhere else. This is the brightest star, Stella Polaris. It is a cluster of three stars 323 light-years away at the center of the sky, at the tail of the Ursa Minor constellation. It gave people direction at the beginning of time.

The people of Lapland have always lived in connection with arctic nature. He gratefully collects the gifts of northern nature. He still lives in connection with the sensitive and powerful nature around him. For people from Lapland, nature is sacred.

As our guest, you will marvel at the power and beauty of the surrounding nature, and hear the call to be part of something bigger than yourself. With Polar Star Travel, you can experience local Lapland, including its mystical side.
