PJ became ill last night and hence we'll remain put for another day in the quiet Kilpisjärvi. There's a bit of snow this morning, which makes me hopeful, because if a cm of snow falls every night we might be able to use our skis from Abisko after all. For now enjoying some more warmth and comfort inside while hoping that there will be more mornings like this one before the sun disappears below the horizon and the polar night begins 🌌#norge #norway #visitnorway #bestofnorway #dreamchasersnorway #norgefoto #mountainsofnorway #utno #mittfriluftsliv #ig_scandinavia #turjenter #nowifigreatconnection #kriket #acapulka #fjellsport_no #helsport #sqoop_no #turjenter #norgepålangs #halti #nordkalottleden #kilpisjärvi #polarnight

From winter back to autumn, over lonely and desolate high mountain plateaus into deep river valleys covered in old forests. I wish there were more places like Reisa in Norway, where forests are old and proud and tall. Once you've been in an old-growth you'll wish there'd be more of them, and for that we talk about how important it is to protect more of the woods. Getting into Finland was a stormy and icy affair, yet rewarding in many ways. Sunrises lit up mountain flanks before the fog swallowed them, and auroras brightened up the night sky until the clouds came back and darkness overtook all. It took us 9 days from Kautokeino to Kilpisjärvi. Soon the polar night will be upon us and I truly hope the ground is covered in snow when that happens.

Arrived in Kilpisjärvi earlier this afternoon after a hard-earned, stormy and icy crossing into Finland. All difficult things come with rewards though and the sunrise of the year award goes to... the Halti massif! Late autumn/early winter hiking is not an easy thing to do and yet when nature puts up her best show every day is worth it. Resting for two days and then continuing on to Abisko. Cross your fingers for more snow ❄️! #norge #norway #visitnorway #bestofnorway #dreamchasersnorway #norgefoto #mountainsofnorway #utno #mittfriluftsliv #ig_scandinavia #turjenter #nowifigreatconnection #kriket #acapulka #fjellsport_no #helsport #sqoop_no #turjenter #norgepålangs #halti #nordkalottleden

Making my way from Kautokeino to Kilpisjärvi through the incredible Reisadalen national park. This place has been absolutely stunning. The mountains are really empty: it's truly only us, the Sámi (who at every occasion are highly entertained by our presence at this time of the year) and their reindeer now. Days are hard: the snow is coming, it's cold and it's dark, yet it has all been a fantastic experience too. We've met a bunch of interesting characters and the views are just insane. I feel really privileged to be out here. Sometimes I worry about what the next few weeks will bring and how the conditions will change but we just have to take it one day at a time and see how things go. Heading up into the mountains again tomorrow towards a short stretch of Finland, but first some well-deserved rest after a long day #norge #norway #visitnorway #bestofnorway #dreamchasersnorway #norgefoto #mountainsofnorway #utno #mittfriluftsliv #ig_scandinavia #turjenter #nowifigreatconnection #kriket #acapulka #fjellsport_no #helsport #sqoop_no #turjenter #norgepålangs
