A true wilderness expedition
This is a true wilderness expedition — no marked snowmobile trails and no cabin comforts. Each day we travel 10–15 km on skis, pulling sleds with our gear, and set camp in tents out on the plateau.
The trip is rated moderate to advanced. Conditions can be challenging, but the reward is complete immersion in nature: vast silence, reindeer tracks, and nights under the stars.
Evenings are spent preparing meals together and sharing stories by the light of the stove. It's a demanding but unforgettable experience of Norway's high mountain wilderness.
What's included & what to bring
All shared expedition gear is provided — skis, tents, stoves, pulks, and cooking equipment. You'll need to bring your backpack, sleeping mattress, warm clothing, and personal items.
Enhance your experience
We offer optional add-ons to make your adventure even more convenient. You can add shuttle service from Kongsberg train station to Rjukan and back (roughly 100 km), as well as winter sleeping bags and sleeping mattresses in the booking form. These add-ons can be selected during the booking process.
Prerequisites
Participants should have some experience with cross-country skiing and outdoor camping, and feel comfortable spending several days outdoors in cold conditions.
You don't need to be an athlete — a reasonable level of fitness is enough to enjoy the trip, as you'll be moving at a steady pace pulling a relatively light pulk. This adventure is ideal for those who enjoy being outdoors and want to build confidence and skills in a beautiful Arctic setting.
