Arctic Norway in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Good value for what's included.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it.

Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.
