Hike the High Tatras & Slovak Paradise

A beginner-friendly week of winter fun in Northern Dalarna's silent, snow-clad landscape of forests, mires, crisp air, and icy blue light. Cross-country skiing over untouched snow is a magical winter experience! While based in a cosy, lakeside cabin with a sauna, we'll also have the opportunity for some adventurous wild camping!

Do The North

After about an hour's drive from the train station, we arrive at a remote valley completely surrounded by tall wooded hills. Here we find the beautiful lake Navar. On the banks of the lake is the grand cabin and sauna that will be our base for the week. 

The Navar valley is located northwest of Mora in the Dalarna region. We are in the land of boreal forests, mountains, lakes, mires and folklore. This is the part of Sweden we have in our mind's eye when thinking of a time long gone, where many of our traditions have their roots.

We spend the first evening enjoying dinner together and just getting to know each other.

Into the deep forests of northern Dalarna

Rännkölen is a stunning open landscape of snow-covered frozen mires and sparse trees, surrounded by deep boreal forests with tall ancient pines. It’s an ideal area for our first steps on touring skis, with small variations in altitude and actual tracks to follow. 

We fill our thermoses with coffee and tea this morning, pack some firewood, and find somewhere along the tracks to grill sandwiches on the fire with a warming cup of soup. 

Down in the valley after our skiing trip, we take a stroll around the Ribbåsen “Fäbodar”. They are small log houses where farmers used to bring their cattle for grazing. Farmhands would stay in these little cottages all summer long, and most of them date back to the 1700s. A whole culture emerged from this way of life with cooking traditions, superstitions, and folk music. This region is famous for its idyllic settings and cultural heritage.

The Rännkölen mires

We drive further north to the Anjosvarden nature reserve; a true wilderness that is sometimes called Sweden’s most southern alpine mountain peak. In truth, it’s not really classified as such, but rather a fell with a high enough altitude to lack trees. The highest point is 764m. Our journey towards the peak offers some steeper inclines but mostly quite flat terrain over frozen mires.

Mother nature offers up many types of snow. Maybe the crust is hard enough to tread on top; maybe the snow is powdery and deep. Perhaps the wind has created beautiful ripples across the snowy expanses. Either way, our touring skis are perfect for moving slowly through this amazing white landscape.

Along the way, we’ll pass low lonely trees completely covered in snow. They create fantasmic shapes and forms often depicted in photographs from this wild and unique nature reserve.

Once at the top, we enjoy soup pre-prepared by our wilderness chef at the log shelter. If the weather is clear, we get a beautiful view of the Transtrand and Fulufjället mountains to the west.

Anjosvarden nature reserve

This is what we've been working our skills towards! A 2-night expedition up the Fulufjället mountain plateau, close to the Norwegian border.
The skis have built-in 'skins', which give them a good grip when going uphill. After the initial ascent, we'll spend a couple of hours skiing across the vast alpine plateau. These are true alpine conditions: white as far as the eye can see, with no trees, and an amazing vista of the lowlands spreading out below.

By late afternoon it’s time to set up camp, cook dinner, and simply enjoy this amazing place. The solitude up here and the sounds of the wind sweeping across the plains are hard to describe in words.

You’ll spend the night either in a tent or, if you’re keen, a bivouac of your own making. Each group member will pull a small sled with all the gear needed to comfortably stay for two nights outdoors in subzero temperatures.

Ascent to the Fulufjället mountain plateau

The next morning we'll leave our camp behind and head off on a day trip. We may ski to the “altar ring”, an ancient monument that’s considered Sweden’s highest altar of worship. It was likely built by the Sámi, who have inhabited this area for thousands of years.

Darkness falls early this time of year, and we’ll be back at camp by the afternoon. We’ll spend the evening together in a yurt, where we can all hang out, cook dinner, and do some wood carving, protected from the elements. 

One of the many amazing properties of snow is that you can dig and form your own structures. By digging a canal for your legs, voilà, we got ourselves a couch and a table! Light up some lanterns and candles, put down some sheep skins, and we have a cosy living room on the snowy wind-swept plateau.

Our winter expedition on the plateau continues

We’ll take our time descending to the valley; downhill is indeed the trickier part of ski touring. It's then a 2-hour drive back to the base cabin at Lake Navar. Exhausted but full of a feeling of accomplishment, we enjoy a final dinner and sauna together.

Descent to the valley below

The last morning in this Swedish winter paradise. We head back to Mora train station by noon, so that you have time to catch a flight home in the evening.

Homeward bound

Even so, it still narrows slightly before reaching a hidden plateau high above the impressive chasm of Wadi Siyyagh. 

Just beyond, carved into the cliff face, ‘The Monastery’ suddenly comes into view, where there is a Bedouin café, if you would like to purchase refreshments. Nabataean steps lead down into ancient Petra before exiting past ‘The Treasury’ and through the famous ‘Petra Siq’ to the shops, cafés and hotels of Wadi Musa.

Jordan Bike Trail: Cycle Through Petra & Wadi Rum

Enjoy an unforgettable journey through Croatia’s southern Adriatic. Cruise turquoise waters, relax on deck, and go on invigorating guided hikes across stunning islands and picturesque destinations.

You will be picked up from Split, Croatia, at the central meeting point. We then take a short drive to the harbour where the boat is located. Check-in is until 11:30 AM when you will meet your crew and fellow travellers.

After settling in, we aim to depart Split for island Hvar at around 12 noon and get the socialising started with lunch and a much-needed swim stop on Pakleni island. After docking in Hvar town, we set out on our first hike to Fortica, where you can enjoy a perfect view across the sea.

The Fortica Trail is a scenic loop, generally considered an easy route. Popular for birdwatching, this trail often attracts visitors, so expect to encounter others along the way. Starting in the heart of Hvar town, the trail leads to the historic Hvar Fortress, known locally as Španjola. Perched atop a hill about 100 meters above the northern, old part of Hvar, the fortress and its surrounding city walls once served as the town’s main line of defence.

Hike distance: 2.6 km | Elevation: 84m | Approximate time: 45 mins

Arrive in Split

This morning, our boat sets off early for the Island of Vis, one of the Adriatic’s most beloved destinations. After breakfast, enjoy a refreshing swim and snorkel in one of its stunning bays before arriving at Vis town harbour in the early afternoon. Here, you’ll have time to hike the scenic trail to Fort George.

The Fort George trail, a 5.8km out-and-back route starting in the heart of Vis town, is generally considered easy. The path winds along the coastline, offering picturesque views of Vis’ coves before reaching the historic fortress built by the British in 1813. Perched on a high promontory, the fort boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic and is especially magical at sunset. 

Hike distance: 5.8 km | Elevation: 97m | Approximate time: 1 hr 22 mins

Hvar to Vis - Hiking The Fort George Trail

Our final destination is the island of Brač and the charming town of Bol, one of Croatia’s premier tourist spots with over a century of tourism tradition. Bol is renowned for its iconic Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach, considered one of the most stunning beaches in the Mediterranean. After enjoying lunch on board, the adventure continues with a hike to the summit of Vidova Gora, the highest peak on all Adriatic islands.

The Vidova Gora trail begins in Bol and ascends to the peak, offering a well-marked route rich in history and natural beauty. The journey starts along a macadam road before transitioning to a rocky path known as Vela Staza, or the Roman Trail, built during Roman times. The initial section features a moderate incline, gradually leading into a rugged valley with switchbacks that soften the climb through rocky terrain.

As you near the top, the trail becomes steeper, winding between towering cliffs before emerging on the ridge of Vidova Gora. From the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the island’s southern coastline, the azure sea, and the iconic Zlatni Rat beach.

Hike distance: 10.8 km | Elevation: 715 m
