Lofoten Ski Touring (Norway)

9 days of unspoiled nature in the north of Norway – ski touring over the fjords – for all SKI touring connoisseurs

The land of the midnight sun, wherewith a view of countless fjords and ancient fishing villages we conquer the peaks on which stood Erik the Red and his Viking friends. On the way down, we draw winds through the virgin mist and end up on the most beautiful beach in Lofoten. In the evening we enjoy typical Norwegian food with plenty of fish and other seafood specialties … Beer in a local fishing tavern is our last stop before we indulge in Aurora Borealis to enchant us forever.

We will be staying in Svolvaer, a town with 4000 inhabitants, and skiing in the near and far surroundings. We will be accommodated in rooms for 2 people, with breakfast and dinner at the hotel.

Lofoten is an archipelago in northern Norway that is interesting precisely because of its location. Because they lie within the Arctic Circle, they have all the characteristics of the northern lands, and a special climate is given to them by the sea currents that flow around this area – the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Stream, and the Norwegian Stream. Lofoten has one of the sweetest climates in the polar region, however, there is no shortage of snow in these places, we usually only run out of time to ski the next peak.

At the same time, the Lofoten impresses us with its unspoiled nature, countless fjords that penetrate deep into the islands. The fishing tradition is strongly anchored in Norwegian culture and its a way of survival since Viking times. Therefore, on our trip, we will not only ski through the virgin fluffy snow and observe with our mouths open one of the most beautiful views in the world. We will visit the best Viking museum in the world – Lofotr Vikingsmuseum, the best-preserved fishing village in Norway – Nusfjord, World War II Museum, which houses parts of the 2nd largest German battleship Tirpitz, which was sunk among the fjords in Lofoten.
