Lofoten
Hike & Camp Trip
Arctic Summer With Tori
Our first summer retreat in the north and we couldn’t be more excited. Summer here is one of a kind and ever since starting Tori we have been dreaming of bringing together a group of women to experience the arctic summer. Think midnight sun, long days spent outside, green lush mountains, turquoise waters, hiking in landscapes that will take your breath away. Say hi to our summer dream.
Retreat Details
In July, we return to one of our favourite places on earth — Lofoten.
Together, we’ll hike through some of the most beautiful landscapes we know — quiet ridgelines, open peaks, and beaches where the mountains meet the sea. We move at our own pace, taking time to pause, swim, and fully take it all in. Exploring these mountains together.
If the weather allows, one night we’ll head out to camp in the wild — carrying what we need and spending the night outside, under the endless light. Being out here is so special and we hope to go on a hike in the midnight sun before getting cozy in our tents.
This retreat is about being in nature, sharing the experience with like-minded women, and giving yourself space to slow down, reset, and feel inspired.

WHAT TO BRING
We’ll send out a detailed packing list ahead of the retreat. Camping gear such as tents and sleeping bags will be provided to borrow — please bring your own sleeping pad and any extras that you'd like to make your night wild camping as comfortable as you want.
CAMPING
Our dream for this retreat is to go out camping in the wild for one night. This is weather dependent so have in mind that we won’t go camping unless weather is looking good. We’ll arrange tents and sleeping bags for everyone to borrow, so you only need to bring your own sleeping pad + anything personal you’d like to carry with you. We’ll help each other out with carrying food and supplies. Fingers crossed for a sunny forecast and we’ll have the most magical night in the midnight sun.
HIKES
We’ll do a hike each day, mixing it up depending on what weather conditions we’ll get. This trip is designed for all levels but since we will be hiking every day we recommend having a basic fitness level and feel comfortable hiking 500-900 verticals per day. We always hike at a slow pace so everyone feels comfortable, for us it’s all about enjoying beautiful days outside and with the midnight sun we have endless hours of daylight.

We wake up slowly, enjoy a warm cup of coffee out on our terrace, have some breakfast cooked by our lovely chefs, then we do some kind of movement depending on how the day looks. When we are not moving we are resting, enjoying delicious food together, reading a book, get warm and toasty in the sauna, enjoy the fireplace - in the evenings we always gather for more food and maybe even a little tori treat (read dessert).
