Sail and Ski Norway

Sail and Ski Norway  An Unforgettable Backcountry Adventure

Experience a really unique backcountry skiing and splitboarding adventure in Northern Norway by fusing the stunning peaks and fjords of the Lyngen Alps with the lively culture of Tromsø. This trip provides the ideal mix of isolated alpine exploration, metropolitan charm, and Arctic sea thrills.

Start Your Adventure in Tromsø

Three nights in Tromsø, the vibrant "Gateway to the Arctic," mark the start of your adventure. During the day, take advantage of vehicle-access ski touring in the neighboring mountains, which offer immaculate slopes and breathtaking views. Enjoy catered meals that showcase regional Norwegian cuisine at night to get a taste of the cuisine's delicacies. Tromsø has the ideal balance of adventure and culture, setting you up for the more isolated adventures that lie ahead.

Ski and Sail in the Lyngen Alps

After seeing Tromsø, spend four nights exploring the magnificent Lyngen Alps by boat and ski on the Vulkana. Here, majestic runs from summit to sea are made possible by the imposing peaks that plummet straight into fjords. This portion of the journey is intended for skilled snowboarders and skiers who are in top physical shape. As you confidently navigate ungroomed black diamond courses, you'll come across steep and diverse terrain, including powder, corn, and hard pack.

Both snowboarders and skiers need to have a lot of experience touring, which includes managing transitions well, skinning steep slopes, doing kick turns, and moving smoothly across flats and traverses. For those who like challenge, isolation, and the rush of earning every turn, this trip is not for the weak of heart.
