WINTER CROSSINGS
Huldreheimen Crossing
Creating Polar Explorers
A full winter crossing through forest and high plateau, using pulks and tents throughout – the perfect introduction to self-supported travel in the Arctic.
Svalbard Crossing & Newtontoppen
A high-Arctic expedition across glaciated terrain with no resupply and full polar bear precautions in place. You'll haul everything from rifles to fuel, ascend Newtontoppen if conditions allow, and maintain 24-hour polar bear watch.
Cross the Hardangervidda
A longer, tougher step up. The route crosses Norway’s largest mountain plateau, with exposed ground and variable weather. You’ll need to stay sharp with navigation, camp in high winds, and manage yourself well through long days.
Sarek Crossing Sweden
Sarek is a remote, glaciated national park with no marked trails, no huts inside the core zone, and no easy exit points. We travel self-supported, hauling pulks through deep snow, alpine valleys, and over high cols. The route includes multiple frozen lake/river crossings and a mix of open terrain and forest. Weather and snowpack shape the plan — it’s a demanding journey that rewards solid camp routines and resilience. Not a tourist route, not a hut-to-hut
A long, remote glacier crossing through one of the most committing landscapes in the southern Andes. This expedition links high mountain passes, heavily crevassed ice, and complex weather systems rolling in from the Pacific. You'll travel roped up, carrying full expedition loads, and camp on exposed ice or rocky moraines.
North Patagonian Icefield Crossing – Chile
Kungsleden (King's Trail) – Sweden
A self-powered journey through Arctic Sweden, using the STF mountain hut system between Abisko and Nikkaluokta. We travel on snowshoes or skis, carrying food, fuel, and spare kit in pulks — but sleep in well-equipped huts each night. Expect frozen rivers, big open valleys, and clear skies for northern lights. Saunas most nights, water from under the ice, and a warden’s shop for cold beer and snacks. A solid step into winter travel without tents, but still physically demanding and remote.
Join a 9‑day self‑supported Finnmarksvidda crossing in Norway’s Arctic north. Ski or snowshoe with pulks across 120–140 km of frozen lakes and plateaus, camping each night under the Northern Lights with expert UK guides.
