Pulka Skiing in Abisko, Sweden

On this 5-day tour in the Swedish Lapland, you will enjoy a unique pulka skiing adventure in gorgeous Abisko.

Abisko National Park is one of the oldest National Parks in Europe, since 1909. The name Abisko comes from a similar Sami name Ábeskovvu which loosely translated means 'the forest by the large water'. This stunning area preserves a high nordic mountain nature and is a historical site that attracts a lot of researchers. For thousands of years, it has been home to the Sami people, who followed herds of wild reindeer between the forests and the mountains. Still today it is being used for herding reindeer. Abisko is also generally a good place to see the northern lights because of the lack of light pollution and the usually clear weather.

This trip will involve exploring remote and dreamy snowscapes where you will combine your strength and your sense of wonder. Along the way, you might encounter reindeer, stunning landscapes, and amazing star-filled skies. You will also have to pull a pulka, set up camp in the snow, and melt snow for cooking and hydration purposes. This will make the journey recreational, but also intense.

Perhaps you will have to help out with putting in the tracks in the front of the pulka, navigating a blizzard or digging a shelter. The weather and avalanche conditions in these areas are highly unpredictable so the team must be flexible to changes on a daily or hourly basis. It can also be provided as an intensive course or a 'learn as much as you wish' mix of guide/course for groups.

A video meeting will be held in advance of the trip as well as a quick video meeting just before departure. Then you will carry out an equipment check with your guide before setting off into the wild. After five days, you will return with a rounded experience of what pulka skiing and remote winter camping are all about.
