Our history:::
Business history: Our roots in entrepreneurship go way back, as matter of fact we are at least 3rd or who knows how many generations of entrepreneurs. Our immediate family has owned gas stations, restaurants, car dealer ships, camping area, race teams, etc..

History: Company was founded by Raimo and Sinikka Haikonen with great help from their sons. Raimo and his family arrived in Kemijarvi in seventies to start a family business. Later on Raimo was very active localy and started several other businesses also, but at the start of 2000’s, his interest for motors and snowmobiling started Pyhä Safaris. Father Raimo has always loved all kinds of sports and outdoors, he has competed in speed skating, rally racing, motor cycles, snowmobiles, etc…
Mother Sinikka is actually the force behind this business, she pretty much takes care most of the rental and safari business. Sinikka has always loved outdoors, since she was the finnish slalom champ in early 70:ties.
The oldest son Toni Haikonen  has driven and raced snowmobiles and motorcycles since childhood, He raced for total of 20 years. 12 years in Europe and 8 years in USA. Toni won ESPN X Games, European, Finnish, USA Championships in snowmobile snowcross.
Younger brothers Timo and Tommi are very active outdoors also, they like snowmobiling, snow boarding, etc… We are very happy to have experience in snowmobiles and tourists. We believe its the most rewarding, when we can make people happy and relaxed with our service knowing that everybody is also safe.
