"...a classic Swedish take on wilderness. Loaded with eco awards..." The Guardian lists the mountain station where this experience begins and ends as one of the top five in the world
Winner of the Royal Accommodation Award for Sustainable Tourism.
Experience the beauty and silence of the winter mountains on a guided ski touring expedition through the stunning mountain landscape of Grövelsjön. At this time of year there is still no shortage of snow, but the smell of springtime is in the air and the mountains invite you to get out and explore.
After a day-excursion from your base at the award-winning mountain station to get accustomed to your equipment, you will head off into the wilderness for four days of cross-country ski touring through a world of birch forests and wide mountain plains. Your route takes you onto the Norwegian side of the border, passing through Femundmarka National Park. Accommodation during your experience is three nights at the mountain station in Dalarna and three nights in Norwegian mountain stations along the route.

At the end of your ski touring expedition, you return to the award-winning station at Grövelsjön to enjoy a sauna and farewell dinner in the quality-marked restaurant with its spectacular view over the Norwegian mountains to the west, sharing your impressions and memories of your time in the winter wilderness with your fellow adventurers. Relax and enjoy the pictures in your mind of white winter mountains glistening in the sunshine against a boundless blue sky.
