Nordic Odyssey forme une équipe jeune, dynamique, géniale, joviale et formidable ! les 4 guides avec qui nous avons fait nos excursions étaient tous aussi sympathiques les un que les autres, et l'accueil à l'agence est très chaleureux... ils ont tous été au Top ! Un voyage et des activités inoubliables dont nous sommes revenus avec des souvenirs plein la tête et des étoiles plein les yeux... Un seul conseil : choisissez Nordic Odyssey ! Nous les conseillons à 100% !

L’excursion en raquette a été une vraie découverte, notre guide s’est adapté au niveau du groupe, il a été très bienveillant à chaque étape de la randonnée. Il nous a fait part de toutes ses connaissances sur notre environnement, c’est passionnant. Nous nous sommes également retrouvés autour d’un feu et avons eu le chance de découvrir les mines. Être en petit groupe de 8 personnes personnalise d’autant plus l’expérience pour s’adapter aux attentes de chacun. Je recommande vivement, cette excursion est vraiment accessible à tous (tres peu de dénivelé) Merci encore pour cette très belle découverte.
