Arrival and transfers :

BY PLANE:

Flarken Adventure offers a free transfer from Skellefteå airport and Jörn train station to the guest house where you are staying. For our organisation, we prefer an arrival on the 3.35 pm flight and a departure on the 1.35 pm flight on Fridays. On Sundays, flights are less frequent; hence it is complicated to set a time. But please try to avoid arriving on the 10.30 pm flight as it is almost always late and it makes us arrive at the guest house at around 1 – 1.30 am.

We try to make only one trip to the airport per arrival/departure day so if all the participants do not arrive at the same time, you might have to wait for some time at the airport.

It takes about 2 hours from the time you land to the time we arrive at the guest house. Therefore, for all arrivals after 8 pm (at Skellefteå airport), diner will not be served. You will however be offered some snacks.
On the departure day, the shuttle to the airport will depend on the first departures. As a result, we might drop you a few hours before your flight.
We do not offer the shuttle for the 6.30 am flight from Skellefteå. If you take this flight, a taxi will be at your cost.

BY TRAIN :

If you arrive by night train from Stockholm on Friday or Sunday mornings, please plan to bring something for your lunch and be aware that the guest house won’t be available before mid-afternoon. You can stay at the base camp in the meantime.
If you leave with the night train, departures have to be on Thursday night for our Friday to Friday trips and on Saturday nights for Sunday to Sunday trips.

Accomodation :

You will stay in one of our guest houses. They all have 3 double rooms with 2 single beds, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room.
The overnights in the wild will be in camps, without running water and electricity and with dry toilets.

We prepare all the meals, so if you have any dietary requirements, please indicate it on page 5.
