Gutsy Girls Avis 

I've just returned from my first adventure with Gutsy Girls – the Sweden Multi Activity Adventure in stunning Lapland – and it truly surpassed my expectations. Initially, I didn't know what to anticipate, but every single day brought new delights and unforgettable experiences. The breathtaking location, our wonderful host Flo, the knowledgeable local guides, the women I shared the journey with, the exciting activities, and the delicious food all came together to create an outstanding, five-star holiday.
Before the trip, I was a bit worried that the mild weather might limit what we could do. However, Flo and the guides were incredibly proactive, always monitoring the conditions and ensuring we made the most of every opportunity – we didn’t miss out on a thing. I had always wanted to try snowshoeing, and I’m thrilled I finally got the chance, along with so many other memorable activities.
At over 60, I was slightly apprehensive about keeping up with the group. Age is not a barrier. If you’re considering this adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend it!

It was my first trip with Gutsy girls but everyone else in the group were returning guests and enthusiasts. I was immediately impressed by the wide level of satisfaction. They delivered an itinerary closely matched to the trip description, put us in a very comfortable lodge, fully took care of logistics and guide support. Our "host " and fellow traveler was terrific, on the ball, helpful, able. As a solo traveler I appreciated that we were all solo travelers which allowed for easy socializing.

So lovely to have all the activities arranged with superb hosting by Clair. Great tuition on our cross country skiing along with amazing food and service at our hotel. All topped of with fabulous ladies on the trip.

Excellent holiday experience which far exceeded my expectations. Well organised from start to finish. Big shout out to our host-Dom who was friendly, inclusive and incredibly supportive during the xc skiing activities. Out instructor Ursula was also the best I have ever come across. As an older (64) novice xc skier i found both to be incredibly confidence enspriring. The hotel was brilliant - comfortable with excellent food. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience with some amazing women. Our cross country skiing instructor Ros was the best and her teaching skills about skiing made it fun and easy to follow. Alex kept us organized and informed. It was a pleasure bonding with this group of women. Absolutely loved the scenery and the lodge we stayed at. I would definitely do another Gutsy Girl tour.💕

A great group of like minded women with an excellent host who made everything so easy for us. We were collected from the airport and each activity was organised for us, although if you wanted some downtime that was fine too. Every question was answered and we had the time of our lives. This was my second trip and I have a third later in the year, in case you’re concerned about age then our group ranged from 30 to well over 60. Overall fitness and willingness to have a go matters more than age.

I am just back from my trip with Gutsy Girls! It was fantastic! Our host Frankie was so welcoming, encouraging and great fun. She was super organised and kept us informed on the the daily activities and timetable. The booking process was very easy and I appreciated their detailed packing list and information on what to expect. The hotel we were staying in was a lovely family run hotel with cosy interior and delicious food. I have a food allergy which was handled perfectly by both Gutsy Girls and the hotel, this was greatly appreciated! The balance of activities was just right. I did the beginner cross country ski and yoga 4 day trip which also included ice bath and horse sleigh ride. The instructors for all activities were very knowledgeable, friendly and expertly handled a varied group of different abilities. I would definitely book another trip with Gutsy Girls again!

An excellent programme for a weeks cross country skiing holiday in Norway. Additional activities included; all were amazing but the ice dip was something special. Hotel and food were spot on and our group of "gutsy girls" were so supportive of each other; whilst our host Charlotte and Instructor Glen were fabulous.
If you are hesitating about booking just " go for it ". One of my best holidays EVER !

fantastic learn to cross country ski trip. expertly organised by gutsy girls, fun, challenging and new friends. would definitely recommend it and will be back for sure. great host who made it all the better

Wow, what a fantastic experience! Every little detail was well planned out, the hotel was really lovely and the food was really delicious. Our guide was super and the group of women on my trip were simply fab - a very diverse and fun group of people. I had such a great time that I have every intention of doing it again next year!

What a phenomenal experience, everything was so slick and well organized and the memories of the trip will last a lifetime.
Our guide Abby was fab and did everything to make this trip amazing for all of us!

Really well organised trip in a fabulous location. Would highly recommend the company - they went over and above to make sure everyone was having a good time.

I just finished an amazing week cross country skiing in Norway. I cannot give enough praise for this trip. It was well organized with just the right amount of activities. The food was fabulous. Our guides made the trip exciting and fun. I would highly recommend this company

Wow! I loved the GG trip to Norway. Our cabin was much larger than I expected and in a fabulous position, right on the edge of the fjord. We had a sauna to enjoy after our dips 🥶 and delicious food throughout the week. The activities were well organised by our guides Rasmus and Seb who were fun, friendly and experienced. Communication with Gutsy Girls was great throughout. I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes being off the beaten track, having adventures with like-minded people.

If you’re not sure whether to book, take this as a sign TO DO IT!
I am a (nearly) 50 yr old who has always loved exploring the outdoors but was feeling rusty and not hugely physically confident. I felt completely supported & lifted up by this Gutsy Girls experience and the group of women (and incredible male guides) I had the fortune to adventure with. It was a blast, it was beautiful and I’ve been thinking about it every day since.

If you want to feed your soul and nurture your body, it’s easier than you think - just book with Gutsy Girls and you’ll be on your way.

I had a great week in Sweden with GG. We did XC skiing and camping and it was so different to what I've done before. We spent the first few days getting familiar with all our kit, and then went off for two nights into the wilderness. We were taught how to put up tents in our skis, build trenches and make a snow home. The kit was amazing, and the food delicious. Our host Martha was great fun, and we had a lot of laughs together, feeling sad it came to an end! We enjoyed the sauna and icy dips whilst we were at the lodge, and it was very welcomed after two nights camping.

Brilliant 5 day trip to Norway to learn to cross country ski with a bit of gentle yoga, a horse sleigh ride, outdoor sauna and ice hole dip. Lovely group of like minded women - just having a go. Didn’t need to be any good to have fun. Amazing food. Great skiing tuition and lovely family run hotel. Would highly recommend this trip and very likely to do another one

I was quite hesitant taking the leap to go on this active holiday partly because of my older age but the whole experience was inclusive well organised and exceeded my expectations. The host 'Charlotte' was incredible.. always available..nothing was too much trouble, going above and beyond. The venue was so relaxing being both quiet and sociable,if you chose, friendly and the food was amazing. The activities were such a bonus adding to the whole experience. The group worked incredibly well together even with an estimated overall age difference of over 40 years..Totally exceeded my expectations. Thank you Gutsy girls

The intinerary was incorrect. The host was 22 and had never been on ANY tour before. The walls were paper thin, no sleep in 6 days. No variety, just five days of slugging snow.Do your homework. Rip off.

I have just returned from Finland where I have had the most amazing week in Hossa National Park, snow-shoeing by day, and having saunas and ice dips in the evening. And one fantastic sighting of the Northern Lights on our last night.
It has been an anmazing experience. Our Gutsy Girls host Evie was wonderful - kind , caring and attentive throughout the week. Our Finnish host and guide Maria was outstanding - she was patient, thoughtful, very knowledgeable about all aspects of our trip - wildlife, history, the region etc and also a highly experienced guide who clearly loves her job.
I think it is important to add that, at almost 70, I was the oldest on the trip. If you are a more mature woman please do not be put off - I felt totally accepted and part of the group. It was challenging but incredibly rewarding. A fabulous 70th Birthday present!
