Ski-Expedition Nord-Norwegen für Einsteiger

This trip is cross-country skiing and Arctic outdoor life in a nutshell. A fabulous experience for anyone with a dream of a real winter adventure, but lacking the time to do a long duration “expedition style” trip. It is suitable for any level of experience, from those that have never seen on a pair of skis up to the very experienced skier.
 
We leave the hustle and bustle of  civilization behind and we focus on making this a stress free outdoor experience. We take the time to enjoying the environment and to make our camps as comfortable as possible. We will be cross-country skiing the whole way and we transport everything we need in pulks and backpacks. Your very experienced guide will make sure safety is a priority at all times.
 
The terrain is open with only small hills and it is easy to ski across. We will decide what route to follow shortly before the trip to ensure we get the best possible experience with regards to current snow and weather conditions. This will also allow us to enjoy the interesting things to see and do along the way. The Arctic weather can sometimes present some challenges, but do not worry! Your guides are highly professional and have years of experience in this environment. He or she will make sure you are well taken care of in any situation.
 
Turgleder only uses highly experienced and trained guides and they pride themselves on giving their guests the best possible learning experience. Everyone has the opportunity to pick up tips or learn new "tricks of the trade" - making even the most experienced guest better suited for Arctic camping and expedition life. During these few days we will experience every part of basic winter expedition skills such as Nordic skiing with pulk, orienteering, correct use of winter clothing, camping in snow, food preparation and cooking and much, much more. Changing winter weather conditions might also be a great and positive learning experience. In other words, after completing this short trip not only will you have had a fantastic experience, you will also be much better prepared to do a longer trip, such as our 17 day “North-south trip” and our new “78 degrees North expedition” to high Arctic Svalbard.
 
This trip is not only about learning, but also enjoying. As such we focus on comfort, good food and, as with all Turgleder trips, safety. Our daily skiing distance will be between 5 and 15km, depending on snow conditions and weather.
 
The Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, make for one of the most specular sights nature has to offer and they have become a very popular tourist attraction in themselves. If you are you looking for a unique and genuine Northern Lights experience, you should get away from civilization and any artificial light and surround yourself with wilderness and darkness. This means going into the wilderness during the dark polar night - the time of year with the best possible chance to see them. The polar night will amaze you with its variety of lights and colours; from the midday blue to the pink twilight and the mystical Northern Lights of the night.
This 3 day ski trip presents you with the very best possibilities and makes for a great polar night adventure.
