In February did the expedition experience Lapland, Sweden which was excellently guided by Karin. She was very caring and knowledgeable. She always had a solution up her sleeve when needed. Very nice and made one feel safe.

I had no experience with (winter) camping, being on skis or a vacation in the snow, so I did have my doubts whether this trip would not be too heavy, but in all respects it was not too bad. I loved it and with good fitness and perseverance you will get there. I find it a very accessible trip and I found the cold to be quite manageable.

You get good advice before you travel and no question that was found odd. This helped me a lot in picking out the right clothes and preparing properly.

I look back on it with great pleasure, it was a beautiful experience and a challenge where sometimes my limits were pushed. I loved moving forward with the sled through the snow during the day through the beautiful, endless white winter landscape. Also, the huskey tour was fantastic! Despite the physically fairly tough journey, I gained a lot of energy from this trip.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes adventure, a challenge and nature!
