Wilderness trekkings
Have you ever wondered what it's like to travel back-to-basics through the overwhelming wilderness of Scandinavia? On our wilderness trekkings through Norway and Sweden, you can. Under the guidance of a wilderness guide, you'll discover what it's like to live for a week in an environment outside your comfort zone. You'll experience that you can live safely and pleasantly in nature without the luxuries of home. Everything we need goes with us in our rucksacks. And you'll sleep under your tarp, in direct contact with nature. Where possible, we gather food from nature, such as berries or a self-caught trout.
Never walked with a rucksack before? No problem. There are trekkings of different levels, so you can join too.
Winter trips
Are you mad about cold and snow? Then our winter trekking is a real must. We travel on snowshoes through the fascinating, arctic-like winter landscape of southern Norway. All luggage is carried on your expedition sled. And you'll sleep alternately under your tarp and in your own self-built quinzee (snow hut). Real adventure indeed! We also spend one night in the warmth of a cosy mountain hut. Because that's a wintery experience we certainly don't want to deny you either.
Want to learn which skills you need to be able to complete a winter trekking independently? For that, there's our special winter survival training in Norway. A week in which you learn, among other things, how to make fire, navigate (with GPS, compass, sun, moon and stars), build an emergency shelter and quinzee, plan trips, snowshoe walking and winter camping.
Does such a winter walking trip on snowshoes appeal to you, but is winter camping a step too far? Then our accessible winter hut tour is a great option. We walk for a week on snowshoes through the wintery world of Norway. You only take a day pack with your most essential belongings. We sleep in basic huts in the middle of nowhere, where everything we need is present, such as a cosy little wood stove.

Navigatieschool
Navigation is one of the most important skills you need to master in the wilderness. Our Navigatieschool offers courses of various levels in the Netherlands and Norway. A component of all courses is learning to work with map, compass and GPS. If you choose a more extensive course than the basic ones, you'll also learn other ways of navigating, such as by the sun, the moon and the stars.
