WINTER SPORTS

At Direct Adventures we believe an important part of a worldwide adventure holiday is where, how and what you do in one of our chosen destinations.  We know that winter sports are an integral way to experience a country and its culture. We focus on skiing; cross countryskiing or back country skiing. We are introducing ski mountaineering and ski touring trips as well and we also have incredible husky expeditions throughout Northern Norway. Our winter trips are focused on enabling you to immerse yourself in remote and unfamiliar places by doing something that you love. Whether, cross country skiing through peaceful Norwegian pine forests, Husky mushing your own team of dogs through Northern Norway and the Arctic Tundra or Heliskiing the western Pamirs of the Fann Mountains in Uzbekistan. Our groups are led by local guides and accompanied by fully qualified European guides to ensure that you are getting the best, safest winter experience.
This unique tour starts in the heart of the SГЎmi country, Finnmark. From there we venture into the wilds, where we explore the Arctic wilderness; we learn to master our sleds and dogs; we stay in the traditional husky lodges. Our route follows the famous ancient trail between Karasjok and Alta, where we end the tour at the Ice Hotel.

We have set up an extraordinary, expedition style husky adventure way up into the Arctic Circle. You will mush and care for your own team of six dogs. We push out into the Finnmark Tundra and across mountainous plateaus where the weather rules life, as it is changeable and can be challenging. We will go far off the beaten track and break our own trail as we push north. This trip also has a very special optional extension to finish the journey on Snowmobiles up to Europe’s most Northerly point, Nordcap.
