Wintertime camping course

We organize a winter camping course in the wilderness of Kaldoaivi on the legendary Hillagammi- cottage. The course teaches winter camping, camp life and wilderness skills you need in cold weather. You will receive a list of the equipment you need, you can rent the missing ones from us.

The course is suitable for a person who has no previous winter camping experience.

Program:

The day starts on Friday at the 70North office in Nuorgam at 10:00. We check the equipment and, depending on the snow situation, we hike either on foot or on skis for a five-kilometer distance to Hillagammi – a wilderness cabin where we have lunch and go over how to spend the night in winter and set up camp. During the course, two nights are spent in tents, participants have the opportunity to move to the warmth of the cabin during the night.

On Saturday, we will take a day trip to nearby Ávvačohka-hill, take a sauna and enjoy dinner. In the evening we move to tents for the night.

On Sunday, we break down camp and go skiing back to the 70North office after breakfast.
