Our base cabin for our Winter Adventure in Northern Dalarna. We think it’s the dreamiest, coziest spot ever. Lina and gang have done the most amazing job making it into a wilderness sanctuary, inside and out.

It’s off-grid! Candles and wood-fired heaters light up and warm our rooms. We collect water in the stream. And course there’s a sauna and ice plunge too!

From one of our many research trips to create our winter adventures.

We wanted a location for our Level 1 beginner-friendly tour, where we could be flexible and make each tour unique.

We landed on Fulufjället National Park in Northern Dalarna. A stunning mountain plateau, where we’re not bound to a trail. Proper alpine conditions, yet easy enough for beginners. Usually pretty comfy temps for winter. And camping for ultimate freedom. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Lots of Nordic skiing with a side of other fun snowy missions. Digging snow caves, sauna & ice plunge, snowshoeing etc.

Our base is a remote cosy off-grid cabin with a wild winter landscape right on our doorstep. Over the week, we gradually build our subzero skills towards our crowning achievement – a two-night winter camping expedition on the Fulufjället mountain plateau.

Beginners welcome, it’s like hiking but on skis! Link in bio!

Northern Dalarna has everything for a wonderfully diverse ski touring adventure. Snow-clad spruce forests, open frozen marshes, and then there’s the Fulufjället mountain plateau - a vast white expanse as far as the eye can see with proper alpine conditions.

U need some good gear to stay comfy in winter! We prepare for extreme conditions with Fjällräven’s Polar down sleeping bags (-30) and Exped’s Dura 8R LW insulated mattress (-40). Luckily it’s not that cold where we’re at, usually around -8 to -16. Not to say we haven’t had really chilly nights too!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Making it into Sweden’s least visited National Park during the Level 2 last year. Why does nobody go there? A couple of days of hiking or skiing to get there, and then the whole area is scattered with boulders. Impossible to traverse in summer, but totally doable in winter! Hehe, boozin’ up up celebrate! 🏆👌🥃⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Dry cold or snowy, windy or calm. A few minus or a freezing 20 below. Intense activity or taking a lunch break. Your winter gear needs to be flexible and protective, so that you can stay warm and dry no matter what. Check out the link in bio to our Guide for Dressing for Winter Activities!

If you don’t feel like it, here is a much abbreviated version (still very long for Insta, we are aware 😅):

Layer Upon Layer Upon Layer

Dress in layers to adjust for activity and weather changes: base layer, mid layers, and a shell layer. For extra warmth during breaks, add a reinforcement layer like a down jacket that you can remove during intense activity.

Base Layer – Moisture Control

The base layer keeps you dry by wicking moisture away from your body. Wool, especially merino, is ideal since it stays warm even when wet and needs less frequent washing. Synthetic options work too but require more washing. Avoid cotton—it absorbs moisture and cools you down when wet.

Mid Layers – Warmth

Mid layers trap body heat. Start with a base layer, two mid layers, and a shell. Remove a mid layer as you warm up. Fleece or wool are good choices for your first mid layer. The second mid layer, like a down jacket, also provides extra warmth during breaks and it’s ideal if it fits over your shell for convenience.

Shell Layer – Protection

The shell layer shields you from wind and snow, while vents help regulate heat. Choose a jacket with adjustable closures at the collar, wrists, and waist. For snowy conditions, a hard shell (like Gore-Tex) is best. Ventilation prevents condensation buildup inside.

Shell trousers should be windproof, water-resistant, and breathable, with side vents and integrated gaiters to keep snow out.

Accessories

Socks: Wear a thin wool pair under thicker socks.
Gloves: Layer thin liners under warm, windproof gloves.
Beanie: Use a thin one for activity, and a thicker one for cold breaks.
Buff/Scarf: Protects your face on windy days.
Sunglasses/Goggles: Sunglasses with UV protection are essential, and goggles for windy conditions.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
