During your Nordic Hut-to-Hut Expedition, you’ll experience a mix of cozy stays designed to complement your self-supported and remote adventure.

• First Night: Your journey begins at the Abisko STF Tourist Station, a well-equipped mountain station offering a blend of hotel, hostel, and bed-and-breakfast vibes. Set in a stunning location, it features dormitory-style rooms (4-6 beds) with shared bathrooms and a fantastic restaurant serving delicious Swedish meals.
• Mountain Huts: For the next 4 nights, you’ll stay in traditional mountain huts located 10 to 24 kilometres apart along the trail. These rustic cabins are self-service, and your Local Guide will explain how to make the most of your stay. Everyone pitches in with tasks like fetching water, cooking, and cleaning – a back-to-basics experience that many consider a highlight of the trip.

The huts are simple yet charming, with bunk beds, wood or gas stoves for heating, and dry toilets. While there’s no electricity or running water, you’ll find blankets and pillows provided (just bring your own sleeping bag). These stays are personal, memorable, and a perfect way to connect with the Arctic wilderness and your fellow adventurers.

Fuel your adventure with hearty and energising meals included throughout your trek. Here’s what to look forward to:

• Breakfast: Start your day with porridge or cereal, topped with dried fruit and paired with tea or coffee for a warm, energising boost.
• Lunch: Prepare your own packed lunch each morning, with options like hot soup with bread and cheese, sandwiches, and snacks to keep you going through the day.
• Dinner: End your day with a delicious hot meal prepared by the designated dinner crew – a hearty reward for your efforts on the trail.

On your final night in Narvik, you’ll celebrate the completion of your journey with a group celebratory dinner (please note, this is not included in the trip cost).
