Itinerary

Day 1: Meeting in Åndalsnes

We'll meet in town for coffee to make sure everyone is present and has their gear in check. Then we will be taken to the trailhead by car, where our hiking adventure will begin.

We will be ascending for most of the day, but that also means that we'll start getting stunning views early on. The hike will take about 6-7 hours at a leisurely pace, and we will end the day in a cabin located at around 1200 meters above sea level, hoping for a magnificent sunset.

Day 2: Second hiking day

Wake up above the clouds, and take in the moment before continuing our hike to the next hut. We'll hike through stunning scenery, from alpine meadows to towering peaks. And with each step, we'll get closer to our destination, where a delicious meal and a cozy bed await.

Day 3: Final hiking day

Take in the last breathtaking views of the glaciers and peaks before heading down into a grand valley.

We'll hike along a well-known avalanche path, so the trail changes slightly each year. But at this time of year, our biggest concern is probably slipping, not avalanches.

Some sections are fairly steep, so we'll take our time and find a good spot for a snack and a rest.

Eventually, we'll take a ride into town, where our adventure comes to an end.

Mountain Leader

Some say they started with their outdoor adventures at a certain stage in life - I simply never stopped. A childhood spent outdoors led me to the career of guiding. 3 years of education in Vadstena with the Leadership and Outdoor program and another 1½ years to become a Wilderness and Adventure guide at Campus Åre.

Since 2013 I have been self-employed and working as a freelance mountain leader all over Scandinavia and I am happy to call it my home. I have also made sure to invest in further education such as 80 hours first aid training - Wilderness First Responder (NOLS), avalanche course PRO 2 through SVELAV and I carry the National Award for Mountain Leaders to mention a few.

On top of this, I make sure to put my skills to good use as a Chairman of the Swedish Mountain Leader Organisation, a delegate to UIMLA, and as a board member of the Mountain Safety Council of Sweden. I am also helping the Industry Organisation of Sustainable Snowmobile Tourism as an expert member in their task of building a guide training. Previous work also includes training Mountain Leaders and setting up operation guidelines and safety plans for other guiding companies.

My biggest passion is helping others access wild places and showing them the best parts of outdoor adventure. I will be happy to share my knowledge and guide you especially in the Scandinavian Mountain Range which stretches 1700 kilometers on the border between Sweden and Norway.

Amazing ski touring adventure in the Swedish mountains. Can recommend this trip to both beginners and advanced skiers.

Markus was brilliant, from helping me to develop the idea for the expedition, figuring out a good location, route planning etc, while trying to keep the costs down. Prior to the expedition Markus was really helpful in helping me figure out the right equipment - this differed from my previous expeditions due to both temperature being warmer than I was used to, and the terrain we'd be covering. During the expedition Markus was excellent in communicating what were doing, how we were going to do it, all the while teaching me about navigation, his own methods for winter camping etc etc. Throughout our route, Markus explained to me about Sami culture, why the landscape is as it is, and how it has developed throughout history, meaning I returned far richer for the cultural enlightenment. i couldn't recommend Markus to anyone wanting to head out ski touring or deep wild Nordic skiing. I felt safe and in the right hands the whole time, and thoroughly enjoyed his company. The Explore Share platform was very helping in matching us together - the expedition wouldn't have happened with out them, as so few guides are willing or able to take people out into the extreme wilderness in winter in this way. they matched me with the right guide, so that was perfect. What needs to improve is that they wanted cash paid before I spoke to Markus, which I would never do, because of the complexity of the proposed expedition. We both needed to know each others' abilities and make a sensible plan for the trip before we could commit to it. While I appreciate $Explore share is an introductory service, for which they need a fee, finding a better way for this would be helpful. I was always going to honour the payment once the introduction was made, but obviously some people would attempt to get around it. No matter, I remain satisfied with the explore Share service, and recommend anyone to use it.

Markus has been the perfect guide for our father-son trip. Thank you very much! The hole organization with explore-share has been easy, trustful and very transparent. Thank you!
