    We'll meet at 1 p.m.; your guide will give you a quick overview of the trip. This is where you'll collect your camping and hiking gear, as well as food for dinner and breakfast. We'll load the pulka (sled) with the tipi and set off on snowshoes to find the perfect spot for a beautiful bivouac. Along the way, your guide, a wildlife enthusiast, will point out animal tracks and help you listen to birdsong, all while enjoying the views of the mountain peaks.

    Mid-afternoon: setting up camp! A time for camaraderie and learning.

    After a short walk to enjoy the sunset, it will be time to relax: drinks and a hot meal in our tipi!

    After enjoying the stars, weather permitting, we'll go to sleep snug and warm in our thick sleeping bags under the tipi. The right equipment is essential at this point: a foam mattress and an inflatable one to insulate us from the cold ground, and a thick, cozy sleeping bag on top.
