Mountain stations and good food!

We sleep indoors all nights either at mountain stations or huts and we only carry a daypack with food and clothing. The route itself is a mixture of classical and famous hiking trails but the tour also take you to more remote and unknown parts of the area.

The guides are certified hiking guides with a lot of experience from the area both during summer and winter.

We hike apx 12-19 km pr day and with a light day pack so this shouldn’t be any problem as long as you are in a normal physical condition. The tour is scheduled according to the ”Åre autumn market” a yearly happening in the village. The market offers great handcrafted items, local food and good deals on high quality outdoors brands. The ”Åre Höstmarknad” is an optional extra and not included in the package. If you need help planning the stay after the hike, we’re happy to help.
