I had probably not quite counted on salmon fishing in this category existed in Kalix river. Big and strong ones. The salmon fishing wasn´t more difficult than usual and 3 salmons in 4 days where the largest was around 11 kg is now my personal record. Not to mention the one that robbed my new and expensive line. The menu was also a bit of a surprise and as a single complaint, I now have to start running again. It was definitely an exciting and ACTIVE fishing trip, I highly recommend you.

The dream of a proper trip in the wilderness finally came true. It was a spectacular area and it is hard to believe that it exists here in Scandinavia before seeing it in person. The 5 days spent in places that were untouched since the dawn of time were far more than I have expected.  “We will be back”!

Back to reality and so it was. A wonderful but also demanding experience and it will definitely not be the last. I have the utmost trust in Frank. It was obvious that he was raised with nature. One of the good things about him is that he makes it all work without too much talk. Finally he is able to make you trust his abilities, which proofs to be correct. He clearly knows what he is doing.

A wilderness trip puts everyday life into perspective and Frank is a knowledgeable and inspiring leader. I look forward to Canada Mountain river.

Hiking in Greenland

Hiking in Greenland

 

1 - 7 day hiking courses is organized as a real hike and the guide, shows how to travel through the wilderness in a traditional Greenlandic manner. Along the way we gather and capture much of our own food and we will gain insight to which plants that are edible. The two easy hiking routes is across the mountains and on the way we fish arctic char in the rivers. It is traditional in Greenland to fish arctic char using only your hands or with a single fishing line without a flyfishing rod. Most hikers are joining todays gear weight reduce race, forgetting it can be reduced a lot more by learning how to find and use the fresh ingredients given to us by nature, and same time lifting the level of adventure and meals.

 
Wilderness trekking adventures are not only for experts, by ajusting the daily distances, using expedition equipment and experienced guides most people are able join us. The daily hiking distances are short, giving enough time to experience everything from catching dinner, picking berries, photo-safari or simply enjoying the grand wilderness.

 

Bring: Good shoes/boots + a pair of especially light shoes, 2-3 extra pairs of socks, waterproof rainwear, toiletries and some warm clothes. No prior hiking experience is necessary.

 

In travelling to Greenland you should take time to see the hot springs, the ice cap and Hvalsey. Historically, we are in the land of Eric the Red, a Viking explorer. In year 1000, around 3000 settlers lived in this area, but 500 years later they had vanished into thin air, and it is still a mystery, how and why they disappeared. The ruins of that time can still be found all over South Greenland. Contact us and we help arranging a package tour including accomandation.

It is important to bring clothes for any occasion. You should also bring a pair of hiking boots and it is best that you break them in before the trip. Remember that you must carry all your personal equipment plus your part of the supplies and tents and other equipment for the camp.
