    Can you drive a car on the roads during winter?

    Yes you can! All renatal cars are equipt with good winter tires to drive on the roads. the roads are maintained very well. Ofcourse you always need to keep an eye out for wild animals and icy conditions.

    But something very unique and cool thing driving in winter is that you can drive on the ice. In our area you have special ice roads for cars. These roads are usually opened at the end of January or the beginning of February. They lead into the archipelago, which means you are driving on the sea! This is a highly recommended experience.

Founder, Guide and Musher

“Watching our daughters grow up in nature taught me that the best moments happen outdoors. My goal is to give every guest that same sense of wonder.”

My heart has always belonged to animals and the great outdoors. My youth was spent chasing adventure like hiking the French Alps, canoeing, snowboarding, and downhill mountain bike trails with my brothers. When I combined my education in animal care with a dog sledding internship in Swedish Lapland 14 years ago, I found my true calling. That passion quickly became my way of life.

Today, co-running Direct North with my husband (Dirk) and raising our three daughters in nature is my dream realized. Becoming a mother gave my love for the outdoors even greater depth. Seeing our children explore, discover, and grow outdoors reminds me daily of how special this connection is. My biggest drive is sharing that same magic, freedom, and authentic nature experience with everyone who joins us.

 

Additional product information

Can we pick wild berries during the tour?

Yes! Depending on the season, the forest in Northern Sweden comes alive with wild berries. During our summer and autumn tours, you are welcome to pick and taste them right along the trail or gather a few to enjoy back at base camp.

Throughout the hike, our guides love sharing their knowledge about the different berries you encounter, from identifying unique flavor profiles to traditional Swedish ways to prepare and enjoy them!
