Profile picture

Jim founded Adventurous Ewe following many years of guiding overland expeditions worldwide and trekking in some of the most remote pockets of the planet. Jim’s passion and knowledge of world travel, the environments, wildlife, cultures and customs is undoubted. Spending years living and guiding expeditions across the continents of Africa, Asia and South America, Jim is never short of a travel tale. If Jim isn’t showing you some hidden treasures of the places that you’ll venture too or meeting local people (he’s a bit of a celeb in Morocco with endless handshakes and the echoes of ‘Jims’ following him down the dusty roads of Imlil), then he’s probably sharing some of his really bad jokes. He’s an experienced high altitude guide, certified Mountain Leader, Mountain Bike Leader, bike mechanic, 4-Star Level 2 Kayak Instructor, Rescue Boat Operator and naturally his Advanced Wilderness First Aid Certificate is always up to date. Jim is passionate and dedicated with creating unique and exciting travel itineraries, not just delivering an ‘off-the-shelf’ travel package. When not in the mountains or creating new off the beaten track expeditions, Jim’s other big passions are sea kayaking, kite surfing and travelling through the world’s wildest places and his beloved dog Moshi is never far from his side!

Step into a world of untamed wilderness with our exclusive hut-to-hut hiking adventure, journeying from Sweden to Norway through the Arctic tundra of Abisko National Park. This carefully curated trek, born from meticulous planning and reconnaissance, offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore a lesser-known region steeped in history, culture, and raw natural beauty.

Leave the crowds of the King’s Trail behind as you venture north toward Norway, weaving through valleys that hum with the wind’s song and ascending into landscapes where the mountains grow ever more dramatic with each step. Mornings begin with a freshly brewed coffee and hearty breakfast, fuelling your journey through rugged terrain and breathtaking panoramas.

Delve deep into the stories of history as you uncover the secrets of World War II in this remote Arctic frontier. Along the way, you’ll stay in one of the smallest and most storied huts of the Swedish Tourism Association, a site that once harboured the Norwegian resistance during the war. Here, the walls hold tales of daring missions and fierce battles, bringing the area’s remarkable past to life.

But this trek is more than a walk through history; it’s an immersive experience in Arctic living. Swim in remote lakes, gather fresh water from flowing rivers, and prepare your own meals as you embrace the simplicity and wonder of life in the wild. With a manageable pace that allows you to carry your own kit, each day culminates in the cozy warmth of a mountain hut, offering the perfect blend of challenge and comfort.

Designed for the curious adventurer, this journey requires no prior experience, thanks to comprehensive training programme included in the package. Guided by Sofia Zackrisson, our local Arctic Guide, this exclusive trek promises an unforgettable exploration of Lapland’s dramatic landscapes, culminating in the rugged Norwegian coastline.
