Arctic Expedition - Lapland

Do you dream about participating in concepts like "Running Wild with Bear Grylls"? Then this expedition will be your cup of tea! During this adventure you will have to find your way back from the desolate wilderness towards civilization!

Explore the raw beauty of Swedish Lapland during wintertime. Travel through untouched snowfields, learn new skills to be able to travel and navigate through the landscape, and sleep in self-made snow shelters while enjoying the northern lights.

We won’t only show you how you can survive in the arctic circle, our guide will make sure that you understand and get skilled in all these arctic survival techniques.

Helicopter expedition

You will be dropped in the middle of the wild nature at an unknown location. As part of the escape the wild series, you will need to find your way out towards civilization.

In order to move across the snowfields, we will need to work together. We will craft our own snowshoes from local materials, we sleep in self-made snow shelters, we will start our fire with basic tools and will be melting snow for drinking and eating.

When we reach destination X, we will escape back to civilization with snow scooters.

Arctic expedition luxury cabin

Before and after our Arctic Expedition we will have all the comfort we need in our luxury cabin with restaurant, wellness, and northern light view room.
