Ski Touring Norway Backcountry Adventures in Lofoten & Lyngen Alps
Norway is the place to go if you've ever wanted to experience both world-class skiing and breathtaking Arctic landscapes. The far north of Norway becomes a ski touring haven from March to May, when breathtaking descents, boundless sunshine, and a wealth of Nordic culture combine to create an experience that will never be forgotten.
We'll walk you through the main attractions of ski touring Norway in this guide, such as the fabled Lyngen Alps and the enchanted Lofoten Islands. Norway provides experiences and terrain that are unmatched anywhere else on Earth, regardless of your level of expertise as a ski mountaineer or your level of backcountry exploration.
Why Choose Ski Touring in Norway?
The abundance of daylight is one of the most distinctive features of ski touring in Norway. Expect more than 20 hours of daylight between March and May, which will give you more time to explore unexplored areas and take in the stunning scenery. Imagine plunging into 1,000-meter drops that shimmer at the bottom and go straight from rocky summits to the fjords.
Beyond skiing, Norway's friendliness and culture enhance the trip. Here, ski touring combines luxury and excitement with traditional food, quaint boutique lodgings, and even spa treatments on expedition sailboats.
The Lofoten Islands Skiing to the Sea
Our own island boutique lodge serves as the headquarters for our unique Lofoten ski touring experiences. It's the perfect starting point for exploring this Arctic playground because of its elegant suites, views of the ocean, and easy access to untracked summits. Certified ski instructors take you into the backcountry every day to hunt fresh snow, and in the evenings you may unwind in the wood-fired sauna, eat seafood that is produced locally, or chat with other skiers around the fire.
Lyngen Alps Ski & Sail Adventure
The Lyngen Alps ski and sail vacation is a must-do event for anybody hoping to elevate their ski experiences. Imagine rising early on a private ship, having breakfast cooked by your onboard chef, and then venturing out into isolated fjords to go skiing in pristine, uncrowded terrain. While the skipper navigates you to your destination for the next day, unwind in the boat's spa or panoramic sauna after a strenuous day in the mountains.
The Lyngen Alps are one of the most famous ski touring locations in the world because of its elegance, accessibility, and untracked snow.
