Join us on February 25th - 11th March 2024 for the Real Heroes of Telemark epic escape route from Norway into Sweden. The Heroes took part in Operation Gunnerside, a world famous sabotage operation during WW2.
The aim of this Operation was to sabotage Nazi Germany's attempt at producing a substance called Deuterium Oxide, (commonly known as heavy water) for the German nuclear energy program. After their successful attack on the heavy water factory at Vemork the saboteurs made the arduous, long and demanding journey into Sweden.
Taking 15 days including training this epic expedition will test you both physically and mentally. Following in their footsteps we will journey through some of the most rugged yet beautiful terrain in Norway.
