| | HUT-TO-HUT SKI TOURING: AN INTRODUCTION
BACKCOUNTRY SKI TOURING IN ARCTIC NORWAY
This is an introduction to off-track ski touring, beginning with one day on tracks, to get our skiing legs working. We’ll then embark on a five-day journey through the mountains. As our skills improve and our back-packs become lighter, we’ll ski further and further each day.
Our nights will be spent in cosy wooden mountain cabins – no traffic or street lights just a wood-burning stove, a sky full of stars and hopefully the Northern Lights.
DATES 2011: Early April TBC
TINY GROUP: Minimum 2, Maximum 4.
IDEAL FOR YOU IF:
- You enjoy cross-country skiing in tracks and would like to taste more of the wilderness.
- You’ve tried back-country ski touring before but your skills are a bit rusty.
- You are an Alpine skier, familiar with carrying a back-pack and want to try freeing your heels.

DATES 2011: April is the best time to go. We can fit the dates to suit you - call us!
LEVEL: Intermediate off-track nordic ski touring over undulating terrain. 13 - 34km per day.

MIDNIGHT SUN SAILING IN AN AMAZING ARCTIC PLAYGROUND
A fabulous hands-on sailing cruise, exploring Arctic Norway's beautiful northern coast, beneath the midnight sun. Here, where few yachts ever sail, we'll visit isolated fishing villages, sail beneath vertical bird cliffs and drop anchor in secluded, uninhabited bays... this is bliss!
Hikes ashore, fishing, bird watching... seals, whales and wonderful flowers.
This voyage makes a perfect family holiday - or gathering for a bunch of friends together.
DATES 2011: TBC (June or July)
PRICES: £1300 per person (min 7 - max 10)
Discounts for children under 14.
