Living in Catalonia can be weird… you could almost forget what winter is, you get used to see the sun and the blue sky every day, you just sell all your merino underwear, give away your fur hat and gloves, never put on those trendy fur boots you bought during your last trip to Milan… But, wtf?! Winter has its appeal as well! And we want to feel that shiver once again! That’s why this year we decided to forget climbing for a couple of weeks and arrange a short trip to northern Europe. Destination: Sweden.

We had temperatures between -1 and -15 Celsius, snow, a lot of ice and a big deal of winter activities. It was great! Many thanks to our hosts Anneli, Pär, his family and friends for making our winter experience very special.
