The goal of the day is for you to feel confident with your equipment and understand how it functions. We will also practice avalanche transceiver searches. A short tour in the local area is included. \nDay 2We begin the day with an hour or so of theory focusing on tour planning. After that\, we head out on a longer tour.

The aim is for participants to understand how to plan and carry out a tour\, both in advance and in the field. \nDay 3Today we do a beautiful tour that the participants help plan. Which peak we choose will depend on weather and conditions – a surprise\, in other words! Participants also take part in route choices and track setting during the tour.

We go through and practice winter camping\, setting up tents\, cooking\, melting snow\, and how to stay warm. \nDay 2We continue the expedition into the mountains where the group\, together\, will lead according to our plan. We practice navigation and learn about avalanche knowledge including practical exercises. We find a suitable spot to set up camp just before the sun goes down. \nDay 3The day’s adventure is an exploration in the mountains\, and along the way we learn about emergency bivouacs and build different types. We discuss mountain weather and gain knowledge in first aid. We may stay at the same camp as the night before and do today’s tour with a daypack to move into slightly more advanced terrain. We also dig into the snow to learn about different layers and snow crystals. \nDay 4We pack up our camp and head back to where we started in Storulvån\, where we finish with a Q/A at the mountain station in front of the fireplace with a warm cup of chocolate. Then we wrap up the adventure so that everyone has time to catch the bus back to Duved. \nWe plan to cover approximately 15 km per day. \nPlease note that the program may be adjusted due to weather conditions. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row section_type=”fullwidth”][vc_column]\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section el_id=”Forkunskaper”][vc_row][vc_column]Prerequisites[vc_column_text css=””]You have previous experience camping in the mountains during the summer and have tried skiing before (but you can still be a beginner).
