LEVEL AND EXPERIENCE
LEVEL
For this trip you need to be in a good shape and you will face some challenges. Not extreme but it can be out of your comfort zone at times. The hikes are usually 3-5 hours (excluding some stops), but terrain can make it tough. Often we will walk cross-country without a path, especially when there is snow. The most demanding period is November-April.
EXPERIENCE
You need some basic experience to join this trip. Your previous experience should include hiking with a backpack, sleeping in tents, fire making and outdoor cooking. If snowshoeing or kayaking is new to you, then we will teach you the things you need to know. No worries!
Everybody has a comfort zone and it always differs from the comfort zone of other people. It is a personal thing. Being in wild nature away from civilization is adventurous, but can also cause stress or might scare you a bit occasionally. These feelings are natural and not a problem. Just be open and share things or ask questions. They say life starts at the end of your comfort zone. We believe that this is very true.

REMARKS
THE ARCTIC
Remember we are in the Arctic and here the weather rules. There is no day-to-day itinerary, only short term plans are realistic. We make our decisions on what is possible and when to do it based on weather forecast and conditions. Of course we love to hear your ideas and wishes. And we do our best to make it happen. A bit flexible mindset is a good thing to have here in northern Norway.
