Arctic Circle Trail (ACT)

The Arctic Circle Trail (ACT) is a legendary 165km wilderness trek that carves through the heart of West Greenland. Connecting the inland hub of Kangerlussuaq with the coastal bustle of Sisimiut, the trail traverses the Aasivissuit–Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage site—a cultural hunting landscape that has sustained Inuit cultures for over 4,000 years. The journey takes you through a vast, treeless tundra where the only company you'll have are the occasional muskox or reindeer. It's a land of rolling hills, sapphire-blue lake systems, and profound silence, offering one of the most immersive long-distance wilderness experiences in the Arctic.

Besseggen Ridge is arguably Norway's most famous and beloved day-hike, situated in the heart of Jotunheimen National Park ('Home of the Giants'). The7-mile (14km) point-to-point trek is internationally renowned for the staggering visual contrast it offers from its highest point (1,743m): looking down on one side at the deep, emerald-green, glacier-fed Gjende lake (nearly 1,000m below), and on the other side at the deep-blue Bessvatnet lake (400m below). The hike is physically demanding, involving steep, rugged terrain and a famous steep rock scramble along the narrowest part of the knife-edge ridge.
