Trip description
You’ll learn how to set up a tent in the snow, what to consider in bad winter weather, and how to stay dry and warm in all conditions.
We’ll meet at Carlshem on Saturday after lunch. From there, we’ll head out on Nordic touring skis through easy terrain to the Grössjön Nature Reserve. Once we arrive at the campsite, we’ll go through how to pitch a tent in winter. After that, we’ll serve a hot, hearty dinner by the fire, and once we’re full and satisfied, we’ll head to bed for the night. On Sunday morning, we’ll eat breakfast together and talk about how the night went, then pack up the tents and make our way back to Carlshem.
