Description

I invite you to sail along the magical coastline between Lofoten and Tromso and enjoy untouched powder runs surrounded by a unique landscape. Join me on this 7-day trip in Northern Norway for an experience of a lifetime!

The Lofoten Archipelago is located in the county of Nordland. The seacost between Lofoten and Tromsø offers some of the most spectacular mountain scenery of the Norwegian coast. Every day, we will travel by sailboat to a new location, among stunning peaks that rise from the sea.

You will be amazed by the natural wild beauty of this area, from the magical islands in Lofoten, the majestic island of Kvaløya and the ragged mountains in Senja. Lofoten offers world class skiing and we will be able to enjoy spectacular runs on untracked powder. This area has endless opportunities for amazing skiing on untouched snow.

We will design an itinerary customized to the group’s skill level and experience. This trip is suitable for riders from intermediate to advanced level.

Our home and transport during these days will be a well equipped 73′ polar expedition sailboat. It will allow us to travel with our skis and go wherever we find the best snow conditions. Also, we will get close to wildlife and nature.

Conditions and weather may change quickly here, but we have extensive experience and local knowledge of the area. We are able to offer a flexible programme and ensure your safety above all. Besides, our captain and crew are trained by the RYA in England. They have lots international experience and also a good local knowledge of the area.

So what are you waiting for? Book your spot and let’s start planning this trip in Northern Norway together. I also offer a 7-day ski touring and sailing tour exclusively in Lofoten with more dates available. Check it out!

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.

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.
