  • Finse, Vestland Norway (map)

We are returning to Norway for an exceptional winter experience on the Hardangervidda plateau.  Partnering with Polar Ventures, we invite you to step on to your skis and take the opportunity to discover a unique and remote region of Norway.  

Learn how to safely and enjoyably navigate the winter wilds in this inspiring landscape. Our expedition will kickstart your love for adventure as you discover the special qualities of traveling in a winter environment.  

We are also offering bespoke team trips!

Gather your dream team and get in touch  to create your personalised expedition experience based on individual needs and interests, budget and timeframe.

Find your inner explorer and get to the next level of endurance, resilience and leadership like we did on our 2023 INSPIRE South Pole research expedition or simply come to unplug, reset and reconnect in this idyllic setting.

Meet the Guides:

Are Johansen

A diamond amongst polar gems, a legend before his time, Are is simply the most authentic polar guide you will find. Cutting his teeth at True Adventure, Are and fellow Norwegians traversed the NWP as young, inspired explorers. Put the clock forward 35 years and Are is still out there, offering his skills, wisdom and superb judgement, leading wisely and naturally to remote locations. Are is one of the most experienced polar guides in the world at this time, having clocked more South Pole expeditions and Greenland crossings than most any other polar guide!

Denise Martin

Adventure and extreme challenges are in Denise’s DNA. Years of cold weather guiding in Northern Canada, the Arctic and Antarctica, Denise is one of the original Polar guides. Proudly wearing the badge of First Canadian woman to ski to the North and South Pole, helping people realise their dreams remains the fundamental reason Denise loves this job.
