We’ll meet up in Kiruna, the gateway to Sweden’s Far North, then travel (around 1½ hours) to Abisko, a small, remote village on the edge of the Arctic Circle. The route takes us through the vast expanses of Lapland, past snow-covered forests, Arctic mountains and vast frozen lakes.
Depending on our arrival time, we’ll go on a short acclimatisation walk around the village or straight out onto the frozen lake to get our bearings in this unique winter environment: experiencing the northern snow, the dry cold and the characteristic Arctic light.
In the evening, the guide will outline the itinerary, safety rules and the basics of self-sufficient winter living: coping with the cold, extreme-cold equipment and an introduction to using the pulka.
Overnight stay at a hostel in Abisko.
