A pale light spreads across the frozen lake as a convoy of sleds creaks toward the tree line—this is Navar valley at dawn, where boreal pines give way to open mires and the plateau beyond. Ski tracks thread through shadowed forest, steam rising from a thermos while the group prepares for a day of uphill skins and flat, wind-etched snow.

A pale light spreads across the frozen lake as a convoy of sleds creaks toward the tree line—this is Navar valley at dawn, where boreal pines give way to open mires and the plateau beyond. Ski tracks thread through shadowed forest, steam rising from a thermos while the group prepares for a day of uphill skins and flat, wind-etched snow.
The trip moves from sheltered woods around Lake Navar into the Rännkölen mires and up onto the Fulufjället plateau. Geologically, Fulufjället is a modest, ancient massif shaped by glacial scouring; the plateau’s thin soils and exposed bedrock produce stark winter scenery and sculpted snow forms. Culturally, this part of Dalarna is steeped in farmstead fäbodar traditions and Sámi heritage—the altar rings and stone features on the high ground are reminders of long-standing human presence.
Expect varied snow: crust, windboard, and powder depending on recent storms. The touring sections include gentle ascents, steeper approachs to nature reserve ridges, and sustained, exposed travel on the plateau where navigation is key. Nights alternate between off-grid lodge comfort and two nights of true expedition camping with shared Hilleberg tents and sleds.
Practically: layer aggressively, manage hydration (cold suppresses thirst), and plan for short daylight hours. Group leaders handle route choice and safety; participants should be competent on touring skis, able to pull a light sled, and comfortable sleeping in subzero temps. This is a hands-on, skills-forward adventure—rewarding for those who want wide, wind-swept panoramas and genuine backcountry winter travel.
challenging.
6–7 days.
Participants should have good cardiovascular fitness and experience on touring skis; able to carry or pull a loaded sled for several hours.
You should be comfortable ski touring on variable snow, able to climb on skins and descend controlled single-pitch slopes; guides will coach technique but expect self-reliance in cold conditions.
The program includes private transport to the trailhead, use of group equipment (tents, mats, some sleeping bags), most meals, and guided instruction; personal items like base layers, some technical clothing and personal sleeping gear may be required.
Night temperatures can drop well below freezing; groups sleep in Hilleberg Staika tents or shared bedding options with insulated mattresses and down bags supplied by the operator.
Avalanche danger is generally lower on the broad plateau than on steep alpine slopes, but wind slabs and cornices can form—guides assess conditions daily and carry safety kit.
The plateau and surrounding valleys show traces of Sámi seasonal use and the Dalarna fäbod (summer farm) culture; stone rings and small shelters reflect old practices.
Fulufjället’s tundra vegetation is fragile—stick to established routes, avoid trampling snow-free patches, and pack out all waste to minimize impact.
Do the North AB operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
