Backcountry Skiing Norway

Discover backcountry skiing in Norway like never before. This country is one of the most distinctive ski destinations on the planet because of its stunning mountains, long daylight, and rich cultural heritage. Take part in small-group, expertly led tours of the magnificent Lyngen Alps and Lofoten Islands from March to May. 

This is skiing and splitboarding at its most breathtaking, whether you're sliding down unexplored snow, scaling mountain peaks, or admiring seemingly endless Arctic sunsets.

You'll have extra time to chase powder and take in the breathtaking environment with more than 20 hours of daylight. Imagine slicing 1,000-meter drops directly to the ocean, encircled by historical fishing communities and a rocky shoreline. 

Every moment spent here feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, from thrilling ski and sail activities in the Lyngen Alps to a boutique lodge on a private island in Lofoten.

The Journey: From Tromsø to the Lyngen Alps

The exciting "Gateway to the Arctic," Tromsø, is where your Norwegian backcountry journey starts. You'll spend three nights in a four-star hotel in the heart of the city, just a short distance from the harbour, stores, cafes, and bars. 

While nights are spent enjoying hosted dinners of regional Norwegian fare, such as grilled stockfish, reindeer sirloin, and fresh Skrei (Atlantic cod), days are spent on vehicle-accessed skis in the nearby slopes.

After that, the action moves to the Vulkana, a stunningly restored 1957 fishing boat. Originally used to store fish, it now has a Turkish hammam, wood-fired sauna, terrace hot tub, and Zen Lounge with a Japanese influence, all of which are ideal for unwinding after a day on the slopes. 

You will ski from mountain tops all the way down to the fjords while sailing through the Lyngen Alps for four nights. With only 12 passengers, delicious meals, and breathtaking views of the Arctic, the Vulkana serves as both a basecamp and a sanctuary.

Why Norway Should Be on Your Ski Bucket List

The combination of Arctic adventure, local culture, and breathtaking scenery is what makes backcountry skiing in Norway so unique; it's not just about the terrain. Every day presents a different viewpoint, from the bustling city life of Tromsø to sailing through isolated fjords and skiing uncharted lines in the middle of the night.

Norway offers the perfect combination of world-class skiing, cultural immersion, and a dash of Arctic luxury if you're searching for an adventure.
