All our preparation courses and trips for polar expeditions in the Alps and Scandinavia
Expeditions Unlimited, French leader in polar expeditions, offers polar expedition preparation courses in Europe and short polar trips in Scandinavia, enabling you to familiarize yourself with the polar environment, the progression techniques essential to expeditions and to enjoy unspoilt environments. Focusing on technique and experience sharing with experienced guides, they are aimed at participants with little experience of the polar environment. From courses lasting just a few days in the Alps to week-long "Level 1" stays in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland) for beginners and advanced alike, they will give you a head start on the big polar projects of your dreams.
Our polar training courses are designed to make participants in our expeditions more autonomous, more responsible and more confident, so that they can calibrate their level in their routines in extreme cold and in bivouac, or to help them build their progression program to reach a goal that is close to their heart. These polar experiences are supervised by our English- and French-speaking guides. We also offer medical training in isolated environments with the Chamonix-based Ifremmont Institute.
