The perfect ski week
Ski touring week Lofoten
Ski Touring week Lofoten
Five days of guided ski touring on the Lofoten Islands offers a unique opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of northern Norway, where towering peaks meet the Arctic Ocean. Each day promises a different adventure, exploring a blend of majestic mountains, sweeping vistas, and untouched powder.
Day 1: Arrival and Introduction
Your journey begins with meeting your certified guide and fellow adventurers; you’ll receive an overview of the upcoming days and conduct an equipment check. The guide will performe a safety briefing before the tour starts. The first day offers an introductory ski tour on a nearby mountain, allowing you to acclimate to the snow conditions and get comfortable with the local terrain.
Day 2-5: Fjord and Mountain Ascent
You’ll venture deeper into the heart of the Lofoten Islands. Starting early, you’ll set off to summit one of the peaks overlooking the stunning fjords. Ascend through sparse birch forests before emerging above the treeline to take in breathtaking views of dramatic cliffs plunging into the ocean.
Upon reaching the summit, you’ll be treated to an unforgettable view: rolling white slopes contrasting against the deep blue of the sea below. The descent features a variety of terrain, from wide-open bowls to fun tree runs, perfect for all skill levels.
Throughout these five days, your guide will tailor the routes to suit the group’s abilities and ensure safety in this challenging yet stunning environment. Each day brings new landscapes, unforgettable views, and a deep connection with the Arctic beauty of the Lofoten Islands.

Frequently Asked Questions.
January: It can be a bit of a gamble. Short days and thin snow cover are typical. However, the light can be unique with pastel colours in the sky.
February: The ‘cold’ winter month. Generally good snow cover and longer days.
March: Prime time for ski touring. Long days, good snow cover and cold snow. But this is also the busiest time of the skiing season.
April: It is the transition to spring. Thick snow cover and milder temperatures. The sun is high on the horizon and the days are long. Heavy snow fall are still possible, but so is soft corn snow.
May: Spring skiing in the midnight sun is the name of the game. However, the snow line is slowly retreating.
June: Still skiable for adventurous souls. But carrying the skis on the backpack is nessesary.
To go skiing, a car is a must.
