Snowshoeing in Wolverine Country
Snowshoeing is an ideal way to experience the peace and tranquility of the Swedish winter landscape, allowing you to easily explore off the beaten track. No previous snowshoeing experience is necessary - you will soon find that you become accustomed to walking with snowshoes and may be pleasantly surprised at how easy they make your progress through the deep snows of a Swedish winter.
Snowshoeing in Wolverine Country is an extended tour combining exploration of the beautiful Vålådalen Nature Reserve with wild winter camping. Because the tour has no fixed itinerary and you will be carrying everything you need with you, the level of challenge of the tour can be easily adapted to suit the needs and wishes of your group.
The tour is an ideal introduction to new experiences and new challenges, giving an opportunity to discover and demonstrate new strengths, form close bonds of friendship and trust, and learn to work together as a team. Each night you will make camp at a spot of your choosing, and all participants will assist in pitching tents, collecting wood, making a camp fire and preparing dinner together.
The tour is accessible to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Tents, snowshoes and poles are all included as standard and warm polar sleeping bags and mats are available as optional extras. The standard itinerary is a four-day tour with three nights of wild camping in the Swedish wilderness, but this experience can be easily adapted to a 2-day or 3-day tour.
It is also possible to add a one-day training course in Winter Mountain Skills before the tour begins, including avalanche techniques and storm simulation.
