ONE ADVENTURE
TWO EXPERIENCES
High Coast Winter Hike is for both curious beginners and experienced adventurers.
Choose Expedition or Discovery and find your way to experience Europe’s largest winter hike.
EXPEDITION »
Set out on a true winter expedition through the spectacular landscapes of the High Coast World Heritage Site. We head out together but hike at our own pace, crossing mountains and forests before setting up camp for the night at our shared basecamp in the heart of the winter landscape. Your tent and sleeping bag are transported, allowing you to hike with a lighter pack. Want to take the challenge one step further? Choose Expedition Raw and carry all your own gear.
DISCOVERY »
Discover the best of the High Coast World Heritage Site in winter.
With FriluftsByn as our base, we head out on a new adventure each day – towards snow-covered peaks, breathtaking views and into Skuleskogen National Park. We hike with light daypacks and can adapt each day’s challenge to the conditions and how we’re feeling, before returning to the warmth and community of FriluftsByn.
