Beginner Skate Ski and Yoga Retreat

Skate skiing is just the right kind of challenge if you’re looking to push yourself a little. The thrill and freedom of gliding is unbeatable!

A guided snowshoeing stroll through the snowy Swedish mountains. Easy as walking, but way more fun!

Catch a lift with the snowcat up the mountain and enjoy the peaceful night sky.

Swedish flavours, snowy views, and the cosiest mountain hut. Pure magic. 

Stretch is out and find your balance (off the skis). These yoga sessions will be led by an expert instructor, offering easy modifications where needed.

Brave the cold like the Swedes do… straight into a carved out frozen lake. It’s cold, it’s invigorating and it will make you feel more alive than ever!

Unwind after active days in the snow in a warm sauna, a perfect way to relax your muscles and get ready for the next day!

We’re still on skis and snow, but that’s almost where the similarities end. Skate skiing is a completely different sport than the ‘classic’ skiing technique, and it can be a bit of a brain puzzle to work with in the beginning. Instead of keeping your skis parallel like in classic skiing, you’re pushing off the ground, kind of like ice skating or rollerblading. You generate power by driving your legs outward, so it’s all about using your body to keep moving—way more intense!

If you’re a total beginner this retreat is perfect for you, as we’ll ease into it. And if you’ve already done any form of skiing, skating, or even cycling, you’ve already got some transferable skills in the bag! Balance, coordination and endurance will all come into play here.

While this is a beginner skate skiing retreat so you won’t need to bring any prior experience, be prepared for a more intense physical challenge than classic skiing. You’ll need a little more fitness to get the hang of it, but the payoff? More speed, power, and freedom to play around on the snow.

We’ll swap the skis for snowshoes during this part of our winter adventure. Snowshoeing doesn’t require any serious skill—just snap on the specially designed shoes that spread your body weight across the soft snow, and walk like normal. The concept dates back to the Neolithic age, but today’s snowshoes are way more durable and lightweight. So while the tech has advanced, the experience is still simple: just walk and explore!

Embark on an exhilarating snowcat ski ride to the top of the mountain, where a cosy cabin awaits. Indulge in delicious local cuisine amidst the starry night sky, creating a truly unique and memorable dining adventure.

The snowcat will also serve as our transport for some days skiing, for our more experienced skiers there’s the chance to be towed behind it as it climbs the mountain!
