KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

  • This experience requires a minimum of 3 people. If it’s cancelled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll be offered a different date/experience or a full refund.

  • Note also that we are depending on the weather conditions and we might have to modify or even cancel last minute if the weather is dangerous for us to go!

  • We do mix groups and everyone sleeps 2 per tent. We close our bookings one week before departure and then send you your secured online payment link with the amount to pay according to the total number of participants! See the price list above!

WHAT TO BRING LIST

  • Your camping gear: Tent, sleeping bag, and mat. (Unless you rent them from us.)

  • Dry bags. We can lend you if you want.

  • Winter boots. Not hiking boots but proper extreme cold weather boots. If you’re coming from a not-so-cold country, you might want to buy in Sweden or online. Just ask, and we will help you. It is also possible to rent from us, just let us know.

  • Wool socks

  • Cut wind jacket

  • Headlamp with extra batteries

  • Warm layers of clothes and a big outer shell jacket/parka

  • Change of clothes but one will do fine.

  • Ski trousers

  • Underlayer

  • Your personal medication if needed.

  • A book for the long Swedish winter nights.


    Please Note

  • Aim at having many layers on you, it is way better than having a single big jacket. So underlayer, a fleece then a wool sweater, finishing with a cut wind jacket would be ideal. Also having a proper winter jacket is important for stand stills, especially when laying in the snow while admiring the northern lights.

  • You can come earlier and/or leave later to enjoy the place. It is also a ski sation for you to enjoy some more. You can bring more luggage and leave everything in the car before the tour starts. 

 

Sleeping outdoors, in the snowy wilderness: Alone with nature

Have you ever been on a ski trip? Maybe, probably, hopefully!

But have you ever been on a ski touring trip where you are in the pure wilderness, alone with nature, with reindeer as sole neighbours, under the northern lights, and accompanied by an amazing guide who loves their job?....

Not sure!

This tour is tailored for those of you who want to get away from the crowded ski stations and want to explore the hills that you never dared to ski on!

From valleys to hilltops, you'll be in total autonomy and in nature in this 5-day expedition. You'll learn to set camp in the snow and get tips on how not to freeze, cook simple yet delicious food, and take the time to lay in the snow, during the night, and admire the show that offers the northern lights!

Please send us a request, we would love to help you out in any way we can!

The best way to explore this region off-piste

We can go where the ski lifts can't, we can go where the masses can't, and we get the benefit of escaping the crowds as well as making fresh tracks!

Day 1

We will meet at Grövelsjön bus station in the afternoon, depending on your different transportation schedule from Stockholm. You can also decide to come the day or some days before and enjoy the town and the surrounding. You will take a train from Stockholm to Mora then a bus from Mora to Grövelsjön, the ride is about 3.5 hours. Plenty of time to look through the window at the magnificient mountainous landscape starting to take shape, you’ll notice how the amount of snow is beginning to pile up gradualy as you approach Grövelsjön. You can of course decide to go on your own by car, let us know.

Once at Grövelsjön bus station, we will directly fetch our gears and make sure everything fits you properly because once gone, there's no way back! This will also save up some time the following day and be able to explore as much as possible!

Then you’ll check in at the hotel! Time to relax, eat good food, and rest before the real deal begins!

Day 2

After breakfast, we will drive further up the hills, towards Valdalen, in Norway! We'll pack our sledges in the parking lot, and off we go! Our first goal is to reach a frozen lake next to Storslåga! It will give us a beautiful view of the landscape that we will be in for the next coming days. 

In the evening we will set up our camp. Time for warm food, good talks, and deep sleep!

Day 3

After breakfast, we'll continue towards Digerhogna. You'll notice how majestic the whole region is! How taller the mountains are, how thick the snow layer is! So appealing to ski on this huge creamy cake looking like!

Once at Digerhogna we will set up camp for the night! With food and rest as the plan!

Day 4

Time to make it back to civilization but wait, we still have a full day to go! We're not there yet!

Early wake-up and off we go! This big hill you saw yesterday while watching the northern lights is of course our next goal! You start to feel your legs a little bit and you're probably a bit tired but it doesn't matter so much so the landscape is breathtaking! Enjoy this last day, it is something magical you're living now!

In the afternoon, we'll reach our transport, probably all frozen and full of snow! Let's pack up the gear and drive to our hotel for this last night! You deserve a good dinner and a good night sleep after that expedition!

Day 5

Time to thank nature and say goodbye to the mountains. 

Breakfast, pack our bags and at the bus stop waiting the bus for your way back to Mora to catch your train to Stockholm!
