Description

This 7-day Lofoten ski touring private program will allow you to enjoy one of the most unique ski destinations on the planet, in the company of your friends or family. And not only that, you'll also be staying at the amazing Lofoten Ski Lodge!

Lofoten Islands is an archipelago located in northern Norway. Its amazing geography makes it almost mandatory to visit at least once in your life! The combination of sea and mountains makes these islands a true skier's paradise. Come during the winter, when snowy mountains create the perfect contrast with the blue ocean nearby.

I honestly think there are few slopes as beautiful as the ones in Lofoten. And I've been guiding here for a while, so I can help you make the most of your stay.

First of all, you'll stay at the Lofoten Ski Lodge (7 nights), which gives you quick access to the terrain. And then you'll have me to guide you to the best spots on the island! Our ski tours run from 3 to 8 hrs in length per day.

The lodge is a truly unique place. You'll be staying in fully-renovated traditional cabins, fully-equipped with bathroom, fireplace and super comfy beds. After a challenging day ski touring around the island, you'll relax in the sauna or the jacuzzi, have a drink at the bar or take in the amazing scenery from our terrace overlooking the sea.

To stay at the Lofoten Ski Lodge is to enjoy a true Northern Norwegian experience. With this private program you'll be skiing with your friends only and we'll be able to customize the tour to your wishes. You'll decide where to go, when to stop and when to push a little harder.

So please send me a request and specify the number of people in your group. This 7-day Lofoten ski touring private program will be an unforgettable experience!

If you'd like to join a group, I also offer ski touring programs for groups. Check them out!

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.
