Nordic Summer

Product Information

It’s home to Europe’s largest national park, its most powerful waterfall and the first known geyser to modern Europeans. Meeting at Gällivare, the small group is transferred by helicopter into Sarek to start the seven-day hike from Kvikkjokk to Ritsem, trekking mainly off-track and camping out in the wilderness. Great size tin for trekking, I had mine in my hip belt pocket of my backpack for easy top up access. Ylläsjärvi, who in Finland is a culinary star, cookbook author and MasterChef regular, oversees the 50-cover fine-dining restaurant, where the seatings are of five courses and the wine list wouldn’t be out of place in London. The practice of NSU addresses two fundamental premises of a knowledge-based welfare state: production of knowledge based on academic freedom and democratic practice of self-governance.

Every year it migrates south to north from as far afield as the north coast of Africa before landing in Iceland to breed. We'll help you cultivate a positive attitude, a confidence in yourself, and a connection with the natural world through which you travel. Our travel experts are regionally based and will use their insider knowledge to craft your itinerary.The lack of tourists has also led to the country’s oldest tourist-focused magazine, Iceland Review, being published in Icelandic for the very first time since it started in 1963. The tilt of the Earth’s axis towards the sun during the summer months causes the 24 hours of daylight north of the Arctic Circle that is known as the Midnight Sun. Of course, depending on where we live, we’ll have to wait a bit longer before all of that is possible – but just think of those long, lazy Nordic nights as your light at the end of the tunnel. For the peasants and country people in this part of the world, “Beckolja” has been – and will always be – a permanent companion and friend, wherever they go. Guests will stay at one of 62°Nord’s two local properties, Hotel Union Øye or the Storfjord Hotel, from which excursions will leave each day – on foot, by boat (kayak, power, or otherwise) and possibly the odd helicopter.

At the Kurhotel Skodsborg, an indulgent take on the Scandi wellness experience includes rooftop yoga, cross-fit sessions in the Baltic and more saunas than you can shake a birch branch whip at, including SaunaGus, which infuses essential oils into the heat. They ain’t cheap, but one of its most affordable breaks visits the Telemark Canal, considered the eighth wonder of the world when it opened in 1892, which guests explore on a historic boat, then stay at fairytale Dalen Hotel, visit a vineyard to sleep in a converted wine barrel, and cycle from farm to farm in the fruit-growing village of Gvarv. Unfortunately though it doesn't seem to do a great deal with Horseflies, as I was bitten all over by them on a recent trekking trip to Dartmoor, especially whilst walking near the rivers and streams there. For the inhabitants of northern Scandinavia, Beckolja or Beck Oil has seen various uses as a natural means to alleviate many types of ailments. The versatile Prospector Tarp is a useful optional tarp that adds extra sheltered living space to the front of a Prospector, or can be used as a stand-alone tarp, or conveniently connect two tents together as a protected.

Later "Beckolja" was produced and later still in the mid 40's we got "Djungel Oil" Wilmas Nordic Summer is a "historic" mixture of the effective ingredients of all of these and is a powerful and lasting protective against mosquitos and gnats. Greenland’s summer season is short – roughly June to early September – but this wonderful time of year paints a very different picture to that of the country's long, cold winters.

km that girdles the country, or by following the Golden Circle, a popular driving route in the of around 300 km in the country’s southwest, looping out from the lively capital Reykjavik. A floating sauna that can be towed into the middle of the lake adds to the magic of Stedsans, a wildly romantic camping and cabin site on Lake Halla, two hours’ drive from Gothenburg.During this three-day weekend, many Finns like to retreat to a summer home and relax in the sauna with some cool beverages. For Finns, that means being outdoors round the clock in the midnight sun, swimming in lakes and berry picking. The smart white hotel, 20 minutes from Copenhagen in North Zealand, has classy rooms that ooze hygge (Scandi cosiness and conviviality), and three restaurants overseen by top Danish chef Erik Kroun. We teach these practical skills in a friendly and open way, our hope being to enable you to make your adventures into the Great Outdoors memorable and enjoyable. This is perhaps somewhat more popular already in the Nordics than elsewhere due to high summerhouse ownership rates, with around half of all Norwegians having access to a hytte, for example.
