Day 1
Familiarizing with each other and our gear. After packing your ahkio (the sled in which you will pull your week’s supplies and gear) and getting a safety briefing, we will drive close to the point of departure of the ski expedition, enjoy a sauna and stay the night in a fully equipped chalet or a cozy lodge.
Day 2 – 6
After a good breakfast we will be transferred to the point of departure of the expedition. We will then start the tour. Each of you will pull your week’s equipment and food in your ahkio. We will move about 10-15 kilometers per day through moon-like landscapes or forests (in case of adverse weather forecast for the whole week).
We will cook dinners from high quality fresh, dry and frozen ingredients on a gasoline or natural gas cooker. Every day we stop for a short lunch break to eat a large meal prepared by mixing the dry meal with hot water. We will sleep nights in tents of two or three person. Each of you will have a warm thick air-filled mattress, a reindeer hide and a warm sleeping bag.
After five days of skiing we will drive back to the lodge or chalet for unpacking and enjoying a good dinner and a well-deserved sauna.
Accessible to outdoors enthusiasts who have previous experience with ski touring, cross-country skiing or multi-day summer treks and camping and who are in a good physical shape (for example able to run a half-marathon).
