OP GUNNERSIDE-ATTACK ROUTE - 25th Feb-7th March-2026

Expedition Details

Embark on a thrilling journey with us in February 2026 as we recreate the Heroes of Telemark's legendary attack route and sabotage mission on the Heavy Water factory at Vemork, Norway.


The Kompani Linge Heroes played a pivotal role in Operation Gunnerside, a globally renowned sabotage operation during World War II. The mission aimed to thwart Nazi Germany's production of Deuterium Oxide, commonly known as heavy water, crucial for their nuclear energy program.


This extraordinary 10-day expedition, inclusive of comprehensive training, promises to push your physical and mental limits. Following the footsteps of the Heroes, our journey commences from the original Svensbu cabin, the very site where these brave individuals from team Grouse stayed before meeting up with the Gunnerside team. 


Tailored for enthusiasts seeking endurance and adventure, our expedition covers winter survival skills and delves into the historical context of the wartime era. Progressing at a deliberate pace of 3 kilometres per hour, this experience is ideal for individuals eager to test their mettle in a demanding winter environment.


Navigate through some of Norway's most challenging and rugged terrains, relying on traditional log cabins where tha saboteurs stayed for survival. Are you resilient enough to trace the heroic path of those who faced these challenges head-on?  


The pinnacle of our expedition will be a visit to the historic Heavy Water factory at Vemork, a poignant reminder of the mission's significance.  Join us and discover if you have what it takes to follow in their footsteps.

  Upon your arrival at the airport, our dedicated team will be there to warmly welcome you, followed by a brief introduction to set the stage for the incredible journey ahead.


After the introductions, we'll proceed to gather our ski equipment and essential survival stores. The day will culminate with a delightful evening meal at our hotel, setting the tone for the camaraderie that will define our expedition. 


Several days of ski training and familiarisation with survival skills will ensure everyone is well-prepared for the challenges ahead.


 Over the course of four days and nights, we will traverse Europe's highest plateau, spending 4 nights in the wilds, with two nights in original saboteur hyttes. 


Join us as we connect with the history and spirit of those who embarked on this daring mission.
