No question - the descent with Pulka wants to be practiced. Now there is no stopping: the skins are taken off and the descent is enjoyed - even if one or the other lands in the snow in the process. In a lively, or rather tiring up and down, we continue until we see the summit of the mountain Pältsa, at the foot of which we discover our next hut. Despite a light snowfall, the sun is shining and in the glistening light we can glimpse the view. There is no one here except a herd of reindeer. With united forces we make it to the top. Then it gets serious: The ascent to the Fjäll is a challenge with the Pulkas. At the northernmost point of Sweden, at the border triangle where Norway, Sweden and Finland meet, there is a photo shoot. With making fire, melting snow and cooking food, we let the first evening end.ĭistance: 15 km - Height gain: 170m - Duration: 5 hoursĪt first we start gently on the flat. After a short up and down everyone is happy after 5 hours when we arrive at our first destination, the cosy Kuohkimajärvi Wilrdernes Hut. The end of the lake comes closer only very slowly, but we reach it nevertheless. Apparently flat, the headwind makes us work hard and the -3☌ feel much colder.

With full motivation we tackle the 15 kilometers. The bright blue sky of the morning has turned into a wild gray and the wind whistles around our ears. At 3 p.m., after a little refreshment, we finally set off. For food, cooking utensils and tents we fortunately have two dog sleds that accompany us. As much as necessary and as little as possible is the rule - after all, we have to carry the luggage ourselves, or pull it in a pulka, which we each share with a partner. The big packing begins and already turns out to be our first challenge. After our guide Poppis Suomela gave us a first overview of the route the evening before, we take a closer look at the equipment in the morning.
