Skiing the Lyngen Alps

Skiing the Lyngen Alps, Norway: Backcountry Adventure Under the Midnight Sun

Discover Norway's backcountry skiing like never before, where the sky seems to go on forever and majestic peaks meet the ocean. Norway has some of the world's most breathtaking ski touring destinations, from the renowned Lyngen Alps to the stunning Lofoten Islands. Join PowderQuest's expertly led, small-group excursions from March to May, which combine breathtaking landscape, a vibrant culture, and challenging terrain.

Why Ski the Lyngen Alps and Lofoten Islands?

Imagine carving down 1,000-meter descents that lead straight to the ocean, surrounded by fjords, glaciers, and jagged peaks. Now picture doing it with 20+ hours of daylight, giving you more time to explore, ski, and soak up the raw Arctic beauty.

Norway delivers a backcountry skiing experience unlike anywhere else:

  • Long spring days are perfect for extended tours.
  • Remote zones only accessible by boat.
  • A blend of Arctic wilderness and vibrant Nordic culture
  • It’s a ski adventure that goes far beyond the slopes.
  • Unique Lodging & Experiences

Private Island Lodge in Lofoten

In the Lofoten archipelago, stay in a posh boutique lodge nestled on a secluded island. Enjoy local food, unwind in comfortable lodgings, and take in expansive views of peaks and fjords in between ski excursions.

Ski & Sail in the Lyngen Alps

World-class ski touring and life onboard a fully furnished adventure yacht are combined in our bucket-list ski and sail experiences. After lengthy descents, head back to the ship's comforts, which include a spa to relieve aching legs. This is the best way to see the Lyngen Alps because the boat takes us to a fresh, isolated touring area every day.

Tromsø Comfort for 2026

A new feature for 2026 is that we base some of our journeys from Tromsø, where we stay at a 4-star hotel that is conveniently close to the port, shops, cafés, and a vibrant nightlife. Superior accommodations with ensuite bathrooms, daily breakfast, and the opportunity to upgrade to private single rooms for greater comfort are all provided to guests.

Norway Like You’ve Never Seen It

Living the Arctic dream is what ski touring in Norway's Lofoten Islands and Lyngen Alps is all about. A culture as rich as the landscapes themselves, endless sunshine, breathtaking descents, secluded island cabins, and sailing and skiing adventures.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime ski experience, whether you're exploring the lively streets of Tromsø, chasing snow down to the sea, or unwinding in a hot tub on deck after a long day.
