Three completed journeys, logged day by day: what we drove, where we slept, who guided us, and exactly how long each transfer took. Below the logs you will find the partner guesthouses we work with year after year and the departures already confirmed for 2025 and 2026.
Every nordlys group is capped at eight guests and one guide. These are the routes we ran most recently, with the timings we actually recorded on the road rather than the ones printed on the schedule.
8 guests · 5 nights · departed 11 February 2025 · guide: Ella Norrback
Four winter nights at Abisko Turiststation with a certified Sami guide on the lake ice, then a train transfer down to Narvik for the fjord arrival. Temperatures between −9 and −26 °C; snowshoes and headlamps provided.
8 guests · 6 nights · departed 3 September 2024 · guide: Anton Sjödin
Coastal track along the High Coast ridges, with boat crossings booked to the Högbonden lighthouse hostel. Three days of bright autumn weather, one of steady Norrland drizzle; guests called the Fäberget canyon the highlight.
6 guests · 4 nights · departed 17 June 2025 · guide: Maja Lindqvist
A midsummer circuit for families walking the Långvindsleden stage by stage, with a carving workshop at the village of Nusnäs and two evenings on the south shore of Lake Siljan.
The numbers behind each departure: kilometres walked or driven, transfer durations on scheduled services, and the nights spent walking in from the roadhead. Tap a route in your browser list and the same figures appear in the printed itinerary.
Marker shapes are purely schematic and show distance along the route; gridline colours are set aside where a leg is committed early the evening before — regular overland correspondence of the spring trail is a journey in itself, planned as part of the itinerary.
