Mountain Trek with Glacier Views

We meet at Umeå University Hospital early on Friday morning, where we board the first bus to Hemavan. Upon arrival, we take the gondola directly up onto the mountain toward our camp for the weekend. On Saturday, we set off with lighter packs on a day hike with one of the local glaciers as our destination. On Sunday, we break camp and make our way back down to Hemavan to catch the bus home.

This tour is suited for those who have previously tried tent camping and are ready to take the next step out onto the Swedish mountains. Whether mountain hiking is a newly discovered interest or you have several trips under your belt, we are delighted to have you along and to share our experience. If you don't have your own gear, not to worry — most equipment is available to rent at our outdoor store, Sarek. Before and during the tour, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn from the experienced guides accompanying the group.
