Winter Adventure for Beginners

We meet at the bus stop “Strömbäck” on Saturday at 12:00, and ski together towards our camp spot. When we arrive, we will pitch the tents together and give you advice and tips for how to set up a campsite in the winter. In the evening, we gather around the campfire and have dinner together, before we turn in for the night.

On Sunday morning, we eat breakfast together around the campfire, before we pack everything and head out for a ski tour in Strömbäcks-Kont nature reserve. On the way, we will have our brought lunch before we head back to the bus station in Sörbäck or Sörböle, planning to arrive back at Vasaplan around 16:00.
