Description

This 7-day Lofoten ski touring group program will allow you to live an incredible adventure in paradise! Not only will you enjoy the area's famous ski touring conditions, you will also stay at my wonderful Ski Lodge.

The Lofoten Islands are an archipelago located in northern Norway. They are known for their peculiar scenery that mixes snowy mountains and sharp peaks with the open sea and virgin bays. This fantastic combo is combined with an elevated temperature, rare for this latitude.

All of these reasons make ski touring in Lofoten a truly amazing experience and have convinced me to come and guide here. Me and my mountain guides have the terrain knowledge to find the best conditions on the islands!

You will be staying at my Ski Lodge (7 nights), which will allow you to easily access the slopes. The Lodge offers top cuisine combined with rough-lux accommodation in the most stunning setting.

Here, you'll enjoy full board lodging and you'll get to share your day's stories with like-minded travellers at the lodge's 2 lounges, its fully licensed bar, its jacuzzi and its sauna (from which you can go down to the sea). Believe me when I say this will be a truly unique experience!

When inquiring for this trip you must tell me about your skiing level and experience, as well as your ski touring experience. Clients joining our open group need to have some previous experience and be physically fit enough for a 1200 meter day.

This ski touring program will allow you to explore the world-famous Lofoten snow conditions with a group of other skiers during 7 days. Our ski tours run from 3 to 8 hrs in length per day.

So please send me a request and make this 7-day Lofoten ski touring program happen. I'll be happy to be your guide while you discover these amazing islands, a true skier's paradise!

This program is for individuals looking to join others. If you want to book a private ski touring week, please check this page: 7-day Lofoten ski touring private program.

EQUIPMENT Upon registration I will send you a complete equipment list. Mid – Fat touring skis around 90-110 under foot work best in the Lofoten POW. If you need ski equipment I offer rental in my Shop. I have limited rental gear so please be sure you contact me if you need to rent any equipment well before your trip dates.

Meeting point

We'll meet at Lofoten Ski Lodge. All transportation to the area comes into Svolvaer, which is just 13 km away from the lodge. To get here there are basically 3 options: 1) From Oslo fly into Harstad (1.5 hours) and pick up a rental car there to drive to Lofoten (2.5 hours). 2) Fly from Oslo to Svolvaer (with a stop-over in Bodo). Probably the smoothest way to get to Lofoten but also a little more expensive. 3) Fly from Oslo to Bodo (1.5 hours approx) and then take the ferry or the coastal steamer to Svolvaer.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
