+ Any language requirements?
We are aiming for an international group of people. The spoken language during the trip will be English, so basic knowledge of English is essential.
+ What kind of clothing is important to bring?
The expedition takes place on a mountain lake in the Inland (“Innlandet”) region of Norway, where you should be ready for fluctuating weather conditions. Our journey will expose you to both chilly, rainy days and warm, sun-drenched moments. As we hike to the Sølen mountain (1755m), make sure to pack essentials like a windproof jacket, mittens, a beanie, and a woolen buff (also for the evenings) to stay cozy. Remember, the keyword here is 'WOOL'. Additionally, it's advisable to have a cap to shield yourself from the intense sun."
+ Where do we sleep during the entire stay?
We will be camping in tents throughout the entire stay, as well on the first and last day at the main camp. While at the main camp, we will have access to restroom facilities and a small on-site kiosk. For the rest of the trip, we will set up our tents in new locations each day.
+ How far do we paddle each day?
The length of paddling depends on weather conditions, but you should expect days when we paddle for 4-6 hours (including breaks). One of the days we have planned a hike to Sølen Mountain and therefore there will be no time to paddle that day.
+ Do I need travel Insurance?
Personal travel insurance is absolutely necessary when you are traveling. When choosing a travel insurance policy, you should be covered for at least medical expenses and emergency repatriation. Your insurance should also cover personal liability, personal belongings, cancellation, loss of luggage, and trip interruption. Please make sure to have your policy number and the emergency phone number from your insurance company.

We aim to have at least 4 participants. In the event of any changes or trip cancellations due to insufficient participants, you will be notified by us at least 45 days in advance. In this case the full amount including the deposit will be refunded.
