Nickes Odd Outdoor Adventures

The long term target for this outdoor adventure is to cover Finland from Head to Toe using only wind and muscle power. The objective is to complete the adventure using an odd combination of my favourite sports. The purpose is also to enjoy every step of the way and experience the extraordinary variety the Finnish nature has to offer. Lately I have taken up an Wilderness guide education program called ViGu. You'll be able to follow the program in the blog as well. Enjoy!

Halti 1-5.4.2007

Distance: 134 km

Duration: 5 days

Company: Katarina my wife

Comments: Halti is the highest mountain in Finland. Though very modest in heght and with its highest peak on the Norwegian side it is fairly remotely located in the arm of Finland. Kilpisjärvi (Gilbbesjavri in Sámi) is the place where you start, and sking back and forth takes 5 days. Lovely highland scenery and extremely fast changing weather conditions. The saying goes, if you don't like the weather in Kilpisjärvi, wait five minutes. We were the 88449th and 88450th visitors on the top.
