Nordic Ski Touring in Sweden's Remote Forests & Fells

The price covers all accommodation for the six nights, an English‑speaking guide, most meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner as listed in the itinerary), local ground transport between Mora, the ski areas and the final destination, ski equipment if you do not bring your own, guided ski tours, wood‑fired sauna sessions, and optional extras such as the snow‑cave night. Personal expenses, tips, and any flights to or from Sweden are not part of the price.

Yes. While the basic ski gear is included, you may incur extra costs for personal equipment upgrades, optional activities like the ice‑hole dip or snow‑cave overnight stay, airport transfers, and any personal items such as souvenirs or extra meals. Tips for guides and drivers are also not included. All optional costs are clearly listed in the pre‑tour information, and you will be asked to confirm any extras before they are added.

The tour operator accepts major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and bank transfers. Installment payments are available through a partnered payment platform; you can secure your spot with a 20 % deposit and pay the remaining balance in two equal installments before the departure date. Exact deadlines and any processing fees are provided in the booking confirmation email.

Cancellations made 30 days or more before the start date receive a full refund minus a small administrative fee. Cancellations between 29 and 14 days prior are refunded at 50 % of the total price. No refunds are issued for cancellations made less than 14 days before departure, but you may transfer the booking to a future date subject to availability and a re‑booking fee.

Travel insurance is not included in the tour price, but it is strongly recommended because the itinerary involves backcountry ski touring, snow‑cave overnight stays, and remote travel. The operator may request proof of coverage for emergency medical evacuation and winter sport liability before the start date. You can purchase a suitable policy through your own insurer or via the booking platform’s recommended providers.

Airport transfers are not part of the quoted price. The tour includes all local transportation between the accommodation, ski areas and the start/end points, but you will need to arrange your own transfer from the nearest airport (Mora Airport or Stockholm) to the meeting point in Mora. The operator can provide a quote for a private shuttle if you request it in advance.

The group gathers at the designated meeting point in central Mora, typically the tour office lobby or a nearby hotel lobby, at 09:00 AM on the first day. After a brief welcome, you will be escorted to the cabin where the introductory dinner and group briefing take place. Detailed directions and a map are sent in the pre‑departure email.

You may bring one main suitcase (up to 20 kg) and a personal daypack. Ski equipment—including skis, poles, boots, and a backpack for touring gear—is provided if you do not own your own; however, you are welcome to bring personal gear that meets the tour’s safety standards. All equipment is checked for fit before the first ski day.

Each day features a guided ski tour ranging from 5 to 11 km with varying elevation gain, followed by evening activities such as sauna or group meals. Day 3 is a lighter preparation day with a short ski outing and gear‑packing practice, which serves as a recovery day before the longer Fululfjället plateau expedition on Days 4 and 5. There is no full rest day, but the schedule balances activity intensity.

Wi‑Fi is available in the cabins and the main accommodation in Mora, but connectivity on the remote Fululfjället plateau is limited to basic mobile signal, which may be intermittent. The guide carries a satellite communication device for emergencies, but you should not expect reliable internet access while skiing or camping on the plateau.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Citizens of EU/EEA countries and many other nations can enter Sweden visa‑free for short stays. Travelers from countries that require a Schengen visa must obtain one before arrival. Because the tour operator does not provide visa services, you should verify the specific entry requirements with the Swedish embassy or consulate in your home country.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your planned departure from Sweden. This is a standard requirement for most international travelers entering the Schengen area, and the tour operator may ask to see a copy of your passport during the booking process.

Travel insurance is not mandatory but is highly recommended. At a minimum, the policy should cover emergency medical treatment, evacuation from remote winter terrain, and personal liability for winter sports. Some insurers also include trip cancellation and lost‑gear coverage, which can be useful for a multi‑day ski expedition.

The tour is designed for participants with a moderate to high fitness level. You should be comfortable skiing 5‑11 km per day, handling elevation gains of up to 3 km, and carrying a light touring pack (approximately 8‑10 kg). Prior experience with backcountry ski touring or alpine hiking is beneficial, though the guide provides instruction for less‑experienced skiers.

Solo travelers are welcome and often join small groups for this type of adventure. Single‑occupancy rooms are available at an additional cost, depending on availability. The guide ensures that solo participants are integrated into the group activities and safety briefings, making it a safe and social experience.

The tour is primarily aimed at adults and experienced skiers. Children under 12 are not recommended due to the physical demands and remote nature of the backcountry ski tours. Older teens (13 and up) may join if they have sufficient ski experience, are in good health, and are accompanied by a parent or guardian who assumes responsibility for their safety.

The itinerary includes a guided ski lesson and tour in Norra Mora Vildmark, a preparation day with short ski routes and gear‑packing practice, a multi‑day expedition to the Fululfjället plateau (including a 7‑9 km ascent with a 3 km climb), and a descent back to Navardalen. Along the way you will experience wood‑fired saunas, optional ice‑hole dips, and the chance to build a snow cave on the plateau.

Evenings in Mora are largely free, allowing you to explore the town, enjoy local restaurants, or visit nearby cultural sites such as the Zorn Museum. The schedule does not include dedicated daytime excursions outside the ski program, but the guide can suggest short optional activities if you finish the daily tour early.

Yes. The Nordic Ski Touring in Sweden's Remote Forests & Fells provides a structured, fully guided introduction to backcountry ski touring, including a beginner lesson, safety briefings, and all logistics handled. First‑time visitors benefit from the local expertise, equipment provision, and the chance to experience remote Swedish wilderness without having to arrange transport, permits, or accommodations themselves.

Booking the guided tour eliminates the need to arrange local transport, secure permits, and find remote accommodations, which can be time‑consuming and costly. You receive professional instruction, safety support, and access to less‑traveled areas like the Fululfjället plateau that are difficult to reach independently. Additionally, the tour includes meals, equipment, and group camaraderie, providing a smoother and more secure adventure experience.
