Guided snowshoe hikes:
Your experienced nature guide shows the way and shares knowledge about animals and nature.
Snowshoes and hiking poles are included and we always start with a short technical review of the
equipment.
“Discover Northern Värmlands secret winter life!”
Try snowshoeing on this shorter guided tour through forest and over frozen marshes.
A wonderful nature experience, loaded with information about the survival strategies of plants and animals in wintertime.
“Winter silence on Björntjärnmyren”
A longer guided tour that takes you, among other things, through hilly forest terrain and over frozen marshes.
We will almost certainly see a lot of fresh animal tracks, maybe even from wolverines wandering about.
During the tour our guests often utter descriptions like “magical winter landscape , silence, Narnia, spectacular light show, mindfulness de luxe”.

Equipment tips for dog sledding / snowshoe hiking:
Shoes: a pair of waterproof hiking boots is the best thing to go for, but if you need a little more
warmth and support, snowboard boots can also be a good option! You can also (and definitely
should) combine these with gaiters to keep the snow off your ankles too. Please note that hard
ski boots are not allowed on our sleds!
Clothing: synthetic base layers/underlayers are comfortable and warm, but they are also
breathable and water resistant, meaning sweat will not be absorbed by the fabric. If you plan to go
for very leisurely walks where you do not sweat much, for example (merino) wool will be very comfortable. However, watch out for underwear made of cotton or wool, as they can become moist during the day.
Ski trousers / hiking trousers: usually your ski or snowboard trousers are also suitable for dog sledding and snowshoeing. In snowier conditions, deep loose snow or on colder days, the waterproof and windproof protection these provide is perfect. If, on the other hand, you are hiking on a sunny day in well-trodden tracks and you know you will not get wet or snowy, softshell hiking pants can be a good option. Combined with a good base layer and gaiters, they are often warm enough and will also be more comfortable. Jeans, and cotton in general, are to be avoided!
Midlayer: a midlayer is what you have between your base and jacket. They can range from light
and thin to thick and more padded, so it is important that you check out the different options on your
own before deciding. Fleece is generally an excellent option as a midlayer as it traps
heat, but also breathes thanks to its polyester fabric.
Ski jacket / outdoor jacket: ski jackets are often insulated and provide the best protection against
the elements. But just like you have to make a trade-off between ski pants and softshell, you need
to do the same here too. The downside to a ski jacket is that they can often be somewhat heavier.
And of course: gloves or mittens, hat or cap, scarf and possibly goggles (dog sled), sunglasses
(snowshoes), daypack (snowshoe hiking).
