Mikael Kangas, Owner, Manager and Guide

Mikael hosts and organizes the practical aspects of most our trips.  He was born and grew up right next to the wild Torne River in Swedish Lapland and, aside from some world travels in early years, has spent much of his life exploring the nature by canoe and kayak, cycle, foot and ski.  A man of diverse abilities with extensive knowledge of the winter climate and nature, he is our attentive and capable guide. Since Aurora Retreat’s beginning in 2006 he has devoted almost every winter to helping guests from around the world discover the nature and culture of Northern Sweden.
