Combined Helicopter trekking in the Vindelfjäll Nature Reserve

Particularities

On this tour you can first look to the route from the air. By the helicopter we fly along the upper reaches of the river "Vindelälven" up into the mountains. Under us glides a picturesque landscape.

On this tour you need to carry your luggage in one direction only; namely from the starting point in the wilderness back to civilization.


Tour description

The helicopter brings us first to the starting point of our trek. After unloading of equipment and supplies will start the trek. Destination and duration of the trip can be defined individually by appointment. Usually joins a 4-5 day trekking tour. The highest mountains in Vindelfjällen and the most beautiful valleys are included in the route. We overnight in tents at crystal clear mountain lakes or watercourses. Each participant carry his own equipment.

Best time: July to late September.

Note: The helicopter can travel simultaneously 3 participants (including luggage.) + 1 Guide. For larger groups of Heli flies several times.


Requirements

It is expected that the participants can move in pathless terrain for several days. The tour is not difficult, but sweaty when we have mountain climbing sections. In the highlands larger snowfields are still to traverse even in summer. The tent assembly should be mastered, but it can be practiced before the tour.


Equipment

We recommend sturdy, waterproof hiking boots. Also a special trekking rucksack is advantageous. This should be adjusted exactly to the height and stature of the wearer. Other equipment are trekking sticks and a not too small trekking tent. Both can be rented on site.

Helicopter: 6.000 SEK / flight; additional 750 SEK / person / day (with 2 participants)
