Introduction to expedition skiing and camping in the arctic – 5 days

This trip is cross-country skiing and Arctic outdoor life in a nutshell.

Dreaming about a genuine arctic winter experience but having a hard time fitting it into a busy schedule? Or uncertain about you own abilities and comfort zone.

This short version expedition trip is a good way to get the most out of your valuable time off. We go skiing with pulks (sleds) holding everything we need for our days in the wilderness surrounding the Norwegian Sami capitol, Karasjok.

We will decide what route to follow shortly before the trip to ensure we get the best possible experience with regards to current snow and weather conditions.

This trip is not only about learning, but also enjoying. As such we focus on comfort, good food and as with all Turgleder trips, safety. Our daily skiing distance will be between 5 and 15km, depending on conditions.
