Top tour course with Jonas
The day starts with a home-cooked breakfast and spread of snacks at Galten Gård, before departure to Sømodalen. At Johnsgård Turistsenter there will be adaptation of equipment and a review of essential peak hiking equipment, packing of the bag and plan for the day. Before we start today's trip, we practice good techniques for putting on and taking off traps and mate checks. During the trip, we stop by for route selection and navigation and, of course, technique. We end the trip with a lovely descent, where we get to test whether the technique and equipment work. Then the trip returns to Galten Gård, where a new 2-course dinner awaits and a hot bath in a wood-fired log under the clear starry sky.
Top trip to Gloføken
The day starts in the same way as the day before, with a good breakfast, greasing food packages, filling thermoses. Today, too, we start with a lesson inside after breakfast. Today's lesson focuses on simple first aid and first aid kit. In addition to the summit trip to Gloføken, today's theme is to practice what we learned yesterday, in addition to learning about first aid on a trip in the winter mountains. After another lovely descent, we end the course at Johnsgård with a sauna and ice bath. We say goodbye to Jonas and Johnsgård and head back to Galten Gård for a wonderful and well-deserved 3-course closing dinner. The choice of destination must always take the weather conditions into account. Note! It may happen that we have to choose a destination other than Gloføken.
