CHALLENGE OVERVIEW

Join team Shackleton as we cover up to 100km of one of the world's greatest hikes across challenging terrain, in the ideal season to do so.

The days will be both demanding and rewarding. Few places on earth combine the elements of mountain and ocean with such drama as this remote archipelago.

Our sunlit nights will be spent in a mix of luxury hotels, traditional cabins and mountain huts, shared with the team and Shackleton’s convivial guides. We’ll hike up to 20km each day, with steep ascents and descents, and snow and boulder fields underfoot. We’ll cross the intervening sea by fast RIB and passenger ferry; we’ll dip into hot tubs and arctic waters, enjoying 24-hour daylight and perfect seasonal temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees.

The final day will be a real test of nerve, with the chance to scale the jagged granite ridge of Lofoteggen - an eight-hour mission suitable for everyone who’s up for the challenge. There will be abseiling; there will be heart-in-mouth moments. We’ll come through all the better for it.

Midnight Sun Challenge

Just being in the Arctic Circle is a permanent thrill, and few places on earth have as much to offer as Lofoten in the height of the Northern hemisphere’s summer. As we hike and boat across the archipelago we’ll catch our breath in wonder on an hourly basis. For the more adventurous, the final epic ridge traverse with panoramic views – roped for safety, but still no picnic – will bring the lifelong satisfaction that only comes from pushing beyond our comfort zone to where life happens in the raw.

INVIGORATING EXPERIENCES, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Midnight Sun Challenge

SPECTACULAR ENVIRONMENTS

Many of the most awe-inspiring sights are inaccessible except by hiking and climbing, and all the more memorable for the effort. As ocean swells crash against jagged mountains rising vertically from the sea, we’ll experience nature’s primal power and splendour. We’ll traverse mountain passes, hike among fjords and travel through them at exhilarating speed to access pristine remote beaches.

Midnight Sun Challenge

Along the route, we’ll stay in some of Norway’s most characterful boutique dwellings. We’ll sample local produce from cabins balanced on rocks at the shores of the fjords, surrounded by endless skies and an abundance of wildlife. We’ll dine well on traditional Lofoten dishes, including the famous stockfish. We’ll find our time here stays with us.

CULTURAL IMMERSION

Midnight Sun Challenge

Our world-class guides will ensure everyone acquires the skills and fortitude required to thrive in the environment and play a full part in the expedition team.

WHY COME WITH SHACKLETON

PREPARATION, FITNESS, SUITABILITY

AUTHENTIC EXPEDITIONS

Every Shackleton Challenge has a central mission designed to develop the physical, mental and emotional strength required to access our untapped performance potential. While all challenges will stretch us to a degree, none will defeat us. We come through as a team.

 

SHACKLETON SPIRIT

Shackleton Challenges embody the enlightened leadership so central to the Boss’s own ethos, with empathy and encouragement at the centre. Our committed guides come with invaluable experience in tackling multi-day expeditions and a deep well of environmental wisdom and lively anecdotes. The contrast between daytime achievement and team-wide conviviality in the evenings is a distinctive feature of Shackleton Challenges that marks us out as different in kind.

LIFELONG RETURNS

The trials overcome will evolve into resources that you’ll draw on for the rest of your life, applicable to all kinds of situations where you’ll need to take the lead.

 

Memories made will abide. Like most of our Challenges alumni, you’ll probably stay in touch with the rest of the team.

The Midnight Sun Challenge requires a very good level of fitness, along with some experience of demanding day hikes and multi-day journeys on foot. Think Snowdonia, the Highlands of Scotland or the more demanding Lake District routes. The terrain itself isn’t technical hiking terrain, and we’ll have use of a support vehicle at trail heads - but consecutive hikes of up to 20km will catch out the unprepared. Finally, a reliable head for heights is a must-have for the optional ridge traverse.
Our industry-leading Foundations programme details exactly how we recommend all team members make ready to play their part in helping everyone come through.
