A typical day entails ascending on skis to mountain peaks with elevations ranging from 700 to 850 meters, followed by exhilarating descents from these high points. It's not uncommon to achieve a cumulative altitude gain of over 1,000 meters in a single day.The exact route cannot be predetermined due to various variables like ever-changing weather conditions, wildlife encounters, and the risk of avalanches. While potential routes include areas in Kongsfjorden, Isfjord, and Prins-Karls-Forland, these serve as general references, and the ultimate daily route decisions rest with the expedition leader.
