WEDNESDAY

Most participants arrive on Wednesday to join the pre-evening gathering, where we socialize and attend an introductory course on winter adventure. You can also check in and pick up your food and map. Many choose to try out camping in their tents to get into the routine and ask questions before heading out; others book a cabin or bed in FriluftsByn or nearby.

DETAILED PROGRAM

The following times are preliminary and may change during the adventure. We always adjust the details according to weather and conditions to ensure you have a great challenge but also an enjoyable adventure. During the hike, you’ll find the latest information as you arrive at and hike out from each campsite. If you have questions, feel free to ask the guides along the trail—they’ll be at the front, back, and at designated points along the route in each group.

WEDNESDAY 5/2

Most participants arrive on Wednesday to prepare for the adventure in good time. As a participant, you can camp free of charge in FriluftsByn, and if you’re not an experienced camper, it might be a good idea to camp there from Wednesday to Thursday to ensure you have everything you need. On Wednesday evening, we’ll also hold a short course on winter outdoor skills. It’s a good session to attend if this is your first winter adventure.

09:00 – 09:15: Both Expedition and Explorer participants can leave their tents and sleeping bags with the transport vehicles at Entré Syd, about 900 meters (15 min) along the trail. We’ll provide bags and tape so you can label your gear with your name and phone number. Your equipment will be waiting for you at FriluftsByn. This is recommended for a lighter last day hike.

TIPS:
To reach the top of Skuleberget at a comfortable time, it’s smart to start hiking around 09:00. Make sure to drop off your tent and sleeping bag so you can enjoy a lighter pack on the final day.

You’ll have your last freeze-dried meal for lunch on Saturday — the best lunch spot is Getsvedjeberget.

Explorer participants hike the full distance from Entré Syd to Skuleberget, while Expedition participants take a bus between Entré Syd and Getsvedjeberget, making the final day’s hike about 8 km shorter.

Since the Expedition group covers roughly 15 km on the last day, we strongly recommend leaving tents and sleeping bags with the transport vehicles heading to FriluftsByn.
