Exposed by helicopter - survival tour in Swedish Lapland

The local team will pick you up at Arvidsjaur Airport and then you will head straight to the Arctic Circle along beautiful, mountainous roads. The destination is your accommodation for the next two nights. This is your accommodation in the villa. This villa in the middle of the wilderness is equipped with showers, toilets, sauna, kitchen, bedrooms and a large, comfortable living area. Alternatively, you can go to a modern 8-bed stuga, also with a cozy sauna and warm beds. You will feel at home in your accommodation after just a few minutes. On the first evening you get to know your fellow travelers and the guides over dinner.

Today you will learn everything you need to know about your upcoming survival tour. In an intensive crash course, the team will teach you everything you need to survive in the wilderness. Topics include, for example, the art of navigation with a map, compass and GPS. You will also learn how to set up your one-man tent. You will be shown how to organize an outdoor camp as a team and run it like a small base camp with different distribution of tasks. Learning to fish is also on the agenda: How do you catch a fish and prepare it for a delicious dinner? Swedish Lapland is not only known for its endless expanses and unique nature, but also for its harsh climate and deserted areas. Today you will also be staying in the villa or in the 8-bed Stuga.

Today the comfort zone ends and the outdoor adventure begins! Have a hearty breakfast and head to the departure point. On the way you can quickly get food that you didn't bring with you from your home country. This will be your food for the next few days, so choose wisely! As soon as the helicopter is ready, everything happens very quickly: head down, get in, buckle up and go! - Where? Only the pilot knows that. Somewhere in the Swedish mountains. The mountains in northern Sweden that are located above the tree line are called Fjäll. You can enjoy the best views from the helicopter. With the helicopter you can overcome unimaginable distances in just a few minutes. So the flight won't take that long, because you and your fellow travelers have to make your way back on foot. After you are dropped off, it's time to orient yourself, plan the tour, look for a place to stay overnight, set up camp and tents and find something to eat and drink. Look forward to your first night in the middle of the wilderness!

Be prepared! Today is a busy day waiting for you! Because no matter whether it is storming or snowing or the sun is shining all day: you have to cover a distance of approx. 15 km with your backpack weighing at least 15 kg. In addition, you have to look for and find the most suitable way, provide food and drink and make sure that you get through it together unharmed, safe and ideally with a smile on your face. Your tour guide will of course be at your side and support you in planning your tour and making decisions. In the evening you set up the camp together again, cook together and at the end pull up your sleeping bag, exhausted and satisfied.

You will certainly have slept well the second night and will feel a lot of sore muscles when you get up. Of course, hygiene is also important on such a trekking tour. It is therefore advisable to choose a route that leads past a river or lake. So you can refresh and wash yourself. Immediately afterwards it's time again: Orientation, finding your way, for eating and drinking and of course having fun. This day hike will challenge you again, on a physical and mental level. But of course you also have enough time to talk, get to know each other, make friends and enjoy the landscape. Far away from home, you will surely notice how the strains of your everyday life are falling away and you are leaving the topic behind. Happy and content you will enjoy the feeling of freedom and fall deeply into your well-deserved sleep.

You can relax and regenerate all afternoon. The barrel sauna offers you a fantastic panoramic view where you can relax your muscles. You end the last evening together with a beer and you can reflect on the experience together. At the end of the day you will be proud of yourself for everything you have achieved in the last few days!
