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.

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

Trekking in Lapland

5 day trekking course - trips in Padjelanta with guide

In early summer the midnight sun arrives, and later in the hiking season the Northern Lights dance under the Arctic sky. The flowers and colourful Arctic chars glisten as jewels and bring contrast to the polar mountain scenery. Besides eagles, reindeer, moose and Arctic foxes there are human shy lynx in the area. If we are lucky we will see them from the distance, so bring a powerful zoom. Exploring the wilderness since 1981 - this easy trekking route is located in one of the most breathtaking areas in Lapland.

 

The hiking course is organized as a real hike, and the guide shows how to move in the wilderness. Along the way we learn how to gather and capture some of our own food and we will gain insight to which plants that are edible. Thereby the weight in the backpack is considerably reduced, gaining delicious meals and connecting us close to the environment. Joining the gear weight reduce thing, most experienced hikers still carry the weight of all the supplies.


By helicopter we reach the most spectacular mountain area, reducing the daily hiking distances, so it is possible to experience everything from catching dinner, picking berries to photo-safari, or simply enjoying the grand wilderness. It is a huge experience to be in the Samick wilderness, and we spend time with everything that comes with the wilderness. Under the Arctic sky, the fresh ingredients we cook over the open fire are the ideal accompaniment to our fish, and in the rivers we find the finest drinking water.

Travel programme:

 

5 days easy hiking
In spring the white winter landscape is brought back to life by the midnightsun. The colourful Arctic fauna explodes, animals breed and clear water rivers begin running again. We explore the changing summer landscape, and there is amble opportunity to admire the wildlife. Trekking in the Samick wilderness is a huge experience.


Day 1.
The group gathers. We go through our personal equipment before the helicopter transfer into the mountain world. Together we set up camp and stay the night in expedition tents. We cook the ingredients over an open fire under the Arctic sky, and in rivers we have the finest drinking water.

Day 2.
During the day’s hike down the river we take brakes and enjoy the wilderness. Here in the country of the midnight sun, the moose and other animals are most active in the early morning hours and late in the evening. 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 3-4.
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 you can spend your evening going on photo-safari or fishing. In the midnight sun the moose and other animals come down from the mountains to drink. Before we settle down for the night, we enjoy each other’s company at the campfire with something warm to drink.

Day 5.
We hike the last kilometres on a hiking trail to the spot where the helicopter picks us up. 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 6.
Next morning you bring home the wilderness experience and the reindeer antlers you may have found.
