We will tutor about safety in the Norwegian mountainhome and together we'll increase our knowledge and skill when it comes to choosing the right route under set conditions. We will be be sailing and/or skiing more on some occasions, as the weather in Northern Norway can change. If the weather conditions are optimal with the sun at it's highest and there is no wind, we'll be using most of our time in the mountainhome. If there is a lot of snow and/or wind, we'll enjoy the soothing waves on the sailing ship. The region we are going to tour in will be between Tjeldsundet, Rolla, Grytøya and Kvæfjord.
