The concept:
immersed in raw wilderness
Imagine touching down by helicopter in the heart of Arctic wilderness, miles away from any signs of human life. With nothing but your essentials, it’s you, your team, and the vast, untouched Arctic. You’ll learn to rely on your instincts, hone survival skills, and experience true solitude. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a test of resilience and self-discovery, designed to push your physical and mental limits in every possible way.
UNFORGETTABLE

Snow shelter building
Experience the raw satisfaction of constructing your own snow cave. Using only basic tools and materials sourced from nature.
Navigation and
survival skills
Master Arctic survival essentials: navigate solely with a compass, melt snow for water, and craft snowshoes from natural resources.
The northern lights
Few experiences compare to seeing the aurora borealis. These vibrant displays are a fitting reward after days of braving the wilderness.
