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”!
IT consultant Brian A. Østergaard

 

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.
SAS. Head of department, Suzanne Ergodan

 

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 Lapland

7 days hiking in Lapland - Padjelanta, Sarek with guide

We fly by helicopter into a scenery mountain area near Padjelanta National park. The trip’s route combines hiking with life in the wilderness, in untouched areas with detours to a mountain cabin where we can buy food supplies for the rest of the trip. This way we only have to carry supplies for 3-4 days at a time. Time is spent with everything coming with the life in the wilderness, and the mutual experiences create strong friendships.

 

High-peak adventures are not only for experts, by using our expedition equipment and a experienced guide most people are able join us. The guide shows how to move in the wilderness. Along the way we gather and capture some of our own food, gaining insight to which plants that are edible, reducing the weight in the bagpack by using the fresh ingredients given to us by nature, for delicious meals and a stronger connection to nature. By helicopter we reach the most spectacular invironment, reducing the daily hiking distances, so it is possible to experience everything from catching dinner, picking berries, photo-safari or simply enjoying the grand wilderness.


The Arctic fauna and animal life includes lynx, eagle, Arctic fox, moose and reindeer. Especially the lynx is rare and very shy of humans, but do bring a good zoom for your camera. We aim to make our primitive days in the wild as comfortable as possible. We cook over an open fire and spend the nights in expedition tents.

Itinerary:


7 days easy hiking
The Samick wilderness is a huge experience. After a few days you forget the everyday life back home and a new day presents itself by being in the wilderness on its terms.


Day 1.
The group gathers. We go through our personal equipment for the trip and then travel by helicopter into the mountain world. Together we set up camp and stay the night in expedition tents, if you prefer more privacy. We cook the ingredients over an open fire under the Arctic sky, and in rivers we have the finest drinking water.


Day 2.
In the grand nature we stay around the campsite for the first part of the day and fish, go hiking or relax. After lunch we pack up camp together and hike approximately 7 km down the creek. The valley is green and rich in various vegetation and the creek makes several beautiful waterfalls. It is a huge experience to hike in the Arctic wilderness.

 

Day 3.
We continue approximately 7 km down the creek with breaks to enjoy the nature and the company. In the evening we fish for arctic char or go on photo-safari. Back at the campfire we enjoy a hot cup, and we will marinate the fish for next day’s lunch.

Day 4.
During the day’s approximately 7 km long hike down to the river we pass a mountain cabin where the helicopter has left supplies for us. Here in the country of the midnight sun, the moose and other animals are coming down to the river, where we go on photo-safari or fish.

Day 5-6.
We enjoy the amazing view while we hike along the river. We have plenty of time for relaxing and late in the day we set up camp and cook campfire meals. When we have finished eating the wilderness calls again and it is one’s free choice to go on photo-safari or fishing. When we return to the campsite we enjoy ourselves by the campfire with something warm to drink.

Day 7.
We hike the last 6 km on a hiking trail to the lake where the helicopter brings us back. After a well-deserved bath with a hot sauna we finish the trip with a delicious meal and a good night’s sleep in a cabin.

 

Day 8. Next morning you bring home the wilderness experience and the reindeer antlers you may have found.
