About this challenge

The perfect antidote to a cold, wet British winter is a cold, dry Arctic adventure! Away from the crowds, enjoy mesmerisingly peaceful scenes of frozen lakes and snow-covered pine and spruce forests as we explore the silent wilderness.

You'll be snow-shoeing to a remote overnight cabin, pushing ourselves in this harsh but compelling environment, and we’ll also try husky-sledding and, time and conditions  allowing, some cross-country skiing. Staying in traditional log cabins in the woods, we can relax in Finnish saunas and enjoy the incredible night skies. If we’re lucky we’ll also see the captivating dance of the Northern Lights.

This is an open challenge organised by Discover Adventure, so you'll be sharing the experience with like-minded adventurers supporting a variety of charities. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet new people while taking on an unforgettable challenge together.

Ideal for anyone seeking a rewarding challenge, regardless of experience. All you need is determination, commitment and a sense of adventure.
