Midnight Sun Challenge

Reach new heights

Complete a spectacular ridge traverse with panoramic views.

A year’s worth of adventure experiences in one week, this unique Challenge has been designed for our guest explorers to push themselves in some of the most spectacular, varied and demanding landscapes in the world. Lofoten is situated deep in the Norwegian Arctic Circle in the land of the midnight sun. It’s a place of raw, northerly elements where big ocean swells slam into jagged mountain peaks rising vertically from the sea. Most of the greatest sights are inaccessible and only by hiking and climbing do you get to appreciate the islands properly.

This is one of the world's greatest long distance hikes - created by Shackleton. Few places on earth bring together the elements of mountain and ocean with such photogenic drama – it’s no surprise that it appears on so many bucket lists.

“The journey is as much inward as it is outward.”

"At the end of this experience I truly felt as if I had conquered a side of myself that didn’t believe intense physical challenges were something for me."
