Ready for some skiing in the beautiful fell area in Lapland?
Enjoy a back country ski tour adventure in the south of Swedish Lapland this winter! Try winter camping, maybe for the first time, search the evening sky for northern lights and admire the endless white spaces around us!
During four days we will explore the low fell area and nature reserve Blaikfjället, located between Dorotea and Vilhelmina in Västerbotten county. Blaikfjället consists of marshland, fell forests and hills and covers a large area in the southernmost part of Swedish Lapland. The area is fairly flat which makes the skiing easier, especially when pulling a pulk with our equipment! From the hill tops we have magnificent views of pure white spaces and when the wind is picking up it is nice to seek protection among the windswept trees. We will cross over frozen lakes and aim to reach the highest hill top in the area.


We will spend our nights in tents and of course we use warm sleeping bags and mattresses adapted for the cold weather. Hopefully we have some clear skies when we can watch millions of stars and maybe we get to see the dancing northern lights.
This tour is planned for you who doesn’t have much experience of neither skiing nor winter camping. We will adjust the length of the daily stretches to make sure that there is enough time for rest and recovery.
Skiing or maybe ski-shoeing?
The types of skis we are using are also called ski-shoes. They have a short and wide design that makes them easy to manoeuvre in the woods and you can easily go into soft snow with out sinking down. There is a partial climbing skin integrated into the base of the skis which prevents sliding backwards and gives a great help in the uphill. These skis are very stable and therefore easy to use even if you haven’t been skiing before. Ski-shoes has a universal binding so you can use them with your warm winter boots.

Day 1
You will be picked up from Dorotea (or Vilhelmina, see more further down) and before leaving the warmth we will go through the program and the basics for the tour. The transfer to the starting point takes around one hour. After packing the pulks and dividing the camping gear between us it is time to put the skis on and start going!
The first evening we set camp quite early to have time to get to know the equipment properly. We make dinner together before it’s time to try out the comfort of the camping gear for the first time!
Day 2 & 3
Waking up surrounded by nature is an amazing experience, listening to the sound of the wind – or the total silence – before opening the tent door to see what the outside world is offering. Enjoying a first cup of coffee before getting out of the sleeping bag…
After breakfast we pack our things and put the skis back on to go further over the fell. During the days we will pass both open spaces and snow-covered forest areas. Our aim is to reach the highest hill and admire the view over this beautiful area and the exact route will be decided depending on wind and weather. If we are lucky we might see the traces of wolverine or moose. We cook lunch and dinner together and in the evenings we search the sky for northern lights.
Day 4
Our last skiing day has come but we still have time to enjoy both the skiing and the scenery! After lunch we make our way back to the starting point. Here you have the chance to warm up your muscles in the wooden heated sauna tent. Maybe you even want to roll around in the snow (!) to freshen up before we head back to Vilhelmina.
Hopefully you leave this experience with lots of new knowledge and wonderful memories!
