Why Norway, why Hedmark?
The area is one of the last pieces of wilderness in Europe. Tourism is not very present. Snow scooters are forbidden for leisure, you can therefore enjoy the silence and the wide virgin highlands twice more. The guest farm where you stay for one of our programs welcomes guests since 1900. Tradition and authenticity can be smelled in each room. The English-speaking guides, know the area very well and have been guiding groups in the middle of the nature here winter and summer for more than 10 years now.
This is the most southern part of SAPMI ( Lapland), land of the Sami (Laps). Several herds of reindeer and their 'shepherds' live here. This is also
a place where bears (sleeping in the winter), wolves, lynx, wolverines, moose, cranes, foxes and marters or their tracks can be seen.
We have chosen authentic, non-motorized means of transportation : dog sledges, snowshoes and Nordic ski. With the dog sledges, we can enjoy the big stretches of nature, the contact with the animals. On snow shoes, we look for moose tracks or head for the tops. Nordic ski is the absolute Norwegian winter sport.
