Description

 

This expedition, with a fantastic itinerary, is a big and spectacular traverse in the Swedish Lapland. We will move, all the time, over the line of the Arctic Circle.

 

We will skiabout 135 kmsbetween glacial valleys and peaks of about 2.000 meters, crossing frozen lakes and rivers,we will coexist with the wolverine, the moose and the arctic fox...

 

And all  this, we will be doing itfor 8 days while we progress on our skis, pulling the pulka with all we need for survival, in self-sufficiency in this inhospitable yet amazing area.
