Six hand-picked people, one yacht, seven nights above the Arctic Circle. Ski a summit each morning, sail to a new fjord each afternoon, eat what the chef caught. We spend the 200 hours. You spend two.
Join Expedition 001You land at Evenes on a Saturday and board in Svolvær that evening. For seven nights the boat is base camp. The skipper moves us between fjords, the guide picks each morning's line against the snow and light, and the chef has dinner on when we ski back to the shoreline.
The week flexes daily around snow and weather. That judgment is what the guide, the skipper and the desk are for.
Confident on red pistes and happy off them. Touring experience is not required.
Four to six hours moving, up to 900 m on skins at a conversational pace. Every day has a shorter honest option.
If you can run 10 km or ride 40 km without heroics, you're fit enough. We send an eight-week prep guide.
None assumed. Transceiver, shovel and probe are provided; day one starts with avalanche training in the field.

This isn't an open booking. We read every application and build the group like a dinner table: founders, climbers, sailors, people with a story. Solo travellers welcome, and most come solo. You'll leave with five friends in places you didn't have them.

Two minutes.
We check the fit both ways.
€0 up front. No payment until your booking agreement with full package-travel protection is in place.
Founding season means exactly six guests, a founding price, and every email answered by the founder. It also means no testimonials yet. The six write those. Between booking and boarding you receive your pre-departure pack: confirmed itinerary, your guide's profile, packing list, rentals sized by email, an insurance checklist, and a weather briefing 72 hours out.
The highest qualification a mountain guide can hold. Your guide is named on your itinerary, and you speak before you fly.
The regional avalanche forecast and the guide's own snowpack tests decide each morning. The best line is the one everyone skis home from.
We take no money until your booking is covered by statutory package-travel protection. The full terms, in plain language.
Six guests, one departure, one founder answering every email. One flawless week over ten forgettable ones.
I started The Adventure Travel Co. because of the trips I didn't take. The Lofoten week that stayed a browser tab for three winters. The plan that died because somewhere between the fourth supplier email and the ferry timetable, the adventure stopped feeling like one.
I believe people like us don't lack money or nerve. We lack the two hundred hours it takes to do a far-away trip properly. So that's the product: we spend the two hundred hours, you spend two. This founding season I am personally on the other end of the form below, the call, and the 24-hour phone. Ask me anything, including the hard questions about a company this young.
Two minutes to tell us who you are. Steyn reads every application personally. No list, no follow-up campaign.
