BAMM - a two-day competition in the mountains

Magnificent views Navigation Long distance

The competition is organized in Riksgränsen, where teams of two navigate through pristine Arctic wilderness. With map and compass, you'll make your way across mountains, valleys and glacial landscapes and take control points - where strategy, perseverance and teamwork is key. It's more than a race - it's a raw and unforgettable experience!

Summer & Midnight Sun

When the night never comes and the sun never sets and the sky burns at night. Experience the freedom of walking on golden peaks in the middle of the night and feel the energy of a landscape that never sleeps.

Autumn - colorful landscapes

An explosion of red, orange and gold. The air is high and clear, the ground smells of moss and berries, and the hiking is at its most intense and beautiful setting.

Northern lights - when the night sky dances

From the first dark night of fall to the arrival of spring, we have a front row seat to the most beautiful light show in the universe. Seeing the Northern Lights, or as some call it, the Aurora Borealis, blazing in green and purple is a life-changing experience.

Winter & Polar night

As the sun rests below the horizon, the mountain is enveloped in a mysterious, blue- and pink-split twilight. It is a time of lighted candles, silence and an almost unreal stillness where the snow sparkles under the stars.

Spring winter - the fifth season

The time that we mountain dwellers love the most. The days are long, the sun is warm on your face and you can enjoy skiing in your shirt sleeves in the morning and a coffee in a snow sofa in the afternoon.

Tasteful experiences

From dinners with lush mountain birch trees and Lapporten as a view, to home-grilled sausages in one of our huts

After a day out in the mountains, a simple grilled sausage tastes magnificent in one of our open huts. If you don't feel like arranging it yourself our restaurant Lapporten offers everything from simple classics to full three-course dinners. Here you can ease in after the adventure of the day, with flavors that enhance the experience and views that linger.

Whatever you're in the mood for, one thing's for sure - gastronomy and community meet here in an environment where every meal becomes a natural extension of the day's experiences.
