6-day ski tour in Finnmark, Norway

If you truly love skiing, then you've probably dreamed of skiing in northern Norway. During this amazing 6-day ski tour in Finnmark, we'll explore the most amazing slopes surrounded by fjords and almost reaching the sea with our skis.

The Lyngen Alps are the most popular ski destination in Norway, but they are perhaps a little too popular nowadays. If you are looking to discover a wilder area, beautiful and with great snow, Finnmark is the right place for you!

I've been skiing and organising trips in different Norwegian regions since 2008. The focus has always been the same: finding great spots with few skiers! I always choose lesser-known destinations where I have friends who can make the trip as special as possible.

Finnmark is a region of mountains and fjords that is a 3-hour drive away from the renowned Lyngen. For beginner ski tourers, the options from easy to moderate terrain are many, always with great sea landscapes. More advanced terrain is also available, of course. In Finnmark, you'll find 4 different fjords within a 30 min drive, which provides a great diversity of views and terrain!

I have planned a truly amazing trip for you. Not far from the Lyngen Alps, but far from the crowds! You can set up your own private group (max 6 persons per guide) or join a group of other people who have already registered with me.

We will be staying in a comfy house in the heart of a nice and small village. A fjord is just nearby. A new adventure awaits every day as we'll be only a short drive away from different skiing spots. We can also take fishermen boats and sea kayaks (weather allowing) to get to the base of the slope.

There are numerous options to choose from when skiing. Easier or steeper slopes, short trips or longer days, tree skiing, couloir skiing or even glacier skiing. We'll choose a different option for you each day but there is one thing you can count on: breathtaking settings! Picure huge fjords, the sea meeting the horizon and charming little villages. I can also easily organise fishing in the fjords or dogsledding tours if you like!

All levels are welcome. It's a region of many possibilities, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. Take into account that we will be walking from 2 to 5 hours every day, so a good fitness level is required.

I strongly recommend you to read this article - Finnmark, the ski trip of a lifetime – which includes reviews from skiers who came to Finnmark with me through Explore-Share.com in the spring of 2016.

I invite you to come with me for a week and discover this true ski touring gem in Norway.  Welcome to paradise! 

Want to explore other spots in Norway? I also offer skiing programs in northern Norway (Senja, Tamok) and in Romsdal, which is easily reached by train from Oslo (fantastic mountains and lodging in a beautiful hotel!).

Backcountry skiing in Finnmark

The region of Finnmark is located 200 km east of Lyngen. Ski touring in Finnmark (Alta) is about wilderness, powder snow, breathtaking views and solitude: a dream spot for skiers. Mix Ski touring with kayaking, biking, dog sledding and have a one-week nordic adventure.

The spot where we ski is on the western part of Finnmarkskollektivet, a huge area with very few skiers. Because this spot is still less popular than Lyngen, accommodation is cheaper than around Tromso.

The mountains are 1200m high tops. During our 6-day ski tour, we will generally start from sea level and, with the long days in April, we will be able to do many different peaks in a week. It's often possible to ski two peaks a day if you've got the stamina.

We will stay in a big house close to the water, and use different means of transportation (cars, ferries, boats or sea kayaks) to approach our day's ski playground.
