Dates:
7-14 April 2019
Organized by:
Alex Aimard & Hella Stening
Location:
Sweden riksgränsen
Pricing:
this is a tailor-made workshop; price varies depending on the activities and the number of participants, contact me for more details.
Concept:
this workshop is designed in the true Satori Factory spirit. We will combine multi-sport activities and document the adventure with video or photography.
My goal is to share with you all my knowledge and experience when it comes to producing a video or taking stills. I will guide each participant in their own creative project in every step involved from scratch to delivery.
Sports activities:
The extreme sports gathering offers the possibilities to fly paragliding, speed riding, heli-skiing, skydiving, snowkiting and many more ...
What to expect ?
The workshop will take place in Riksgränsen during the Extreme Sports Gathering.
Riksgränsen is a ski resort located 200km north of the Arctic circle. By definition, Arctic conditions are extremely unpredictable which is part of the adventure. We will adapt the schedule accordingly to weather condition and make the best of this playground.
The pictures above can give you a better idea of the potential of this place. They were shot during the 2018 edition of the Extreme Sports Gathering, organized by Hella Stenning
Strong from 5 years of organizing this event, Hella will take care of all the logistics aspect and sports activities planning so we can focus on making the best of our time to create contents and enjoy the activities.
The beginning of April is a great compromise between having the opportunity to see Nordic lights* and have enough daylight to make the best of what this area has to offer in term of outdoor activities.
* If your only goal is to watch the Nordic lights, perhaps this workshop is a bit late in the season and you should organize a trip around December and January. But be aware the sun will stay behind the horizon all day long which limit a lot the possibility to do any other activities.
