The positions for 2026 have been filled, we'll start hiring for 2027 towards the end of the summer/early autumn.
This is a very demanding position. But also very rewarding. You get to play an integral role in our guests building critical skills, overcoming fears and share in their amazing feeling of accomplishment when the tour reaches its crescendo—a two night camping expedition on skis in alpine conditions. Our Winter Adventure in Northern Dalarna is about so much more than Nordic skiing. It’s about living a Nordic winter life style through and through.
As opposed to our kayaking tours where we have a big team, during the winter it’s just three of you—two guides and a cabin host. You work two weeks on, one week off, so there are of course more than two guides in rotation. Helena cooks most of the food remotely and aids with administrative stuff. But up there during the trip, it’s just the three of you. You gotta really be able to lean on each other.
Our cabin is off-grid, which means no electricity and no running water. It's very cosy, with wood-fired heaters in each room and a proper kitchen that runs on gas. Water is collected in a stream nearby, and the "bath tub" is an ice hole and sauna combo. The cabin host is there to assist with keeping the fires going, collecting water and so on, but it's you as a guide who lead the guests through this new way of life.
Nordic skiing isn’t the tricky part for our guests. It’s learning all the tips and tricks to staying warm no matter if it’s during activity, leisure and sleep. Making camp in waist-deep snow. Cooking and drinking when everything freezes. And most of all, feeling excited about spending three whole days outside even if it happens to be very cold out. You’re there for them every step of the way, gradually building their skills and confidence over the week—sharing your knowledge, encouragement and love for a true adventure in wintertime. Check out the tour.
