Description

Experience the thrill of a remote ski trip and take an adventure to Narvik in northern Norway on a three-day ski touring program! With the Scandinavian Mountains as your playground, admire the fjords and glaciers that make this hidden European destination so magical!

Located at the northernmost part of Nordland, Narvik has played a strategic role in a variety of ways. There have been settlements in the area for a long time, with many rock carvings in the area dating back to at least the late Stone Age period, but the city of Narvik itself is actually just a little more than 100 years old. Through the years it has served as a port for the transportation of iron ore from Swedish mines, though it has developed into an adventure hub for winter sports enthusiasts who want to explore the unique, captivating, and never-ending beauty of its landscape.

This ski touring program does just that, immersing you for three days in the dream-like snow conditions inside the Arctic Circle. With Narvik Mountain Lodge as our home base just above the city, we will head off into the untouched snow. Our program features tree skiing, deep valleys, shore-to-peak runs, and so much more. There is an eclectic mix of possible routes and lines for us to take, plenty of options to keep us occupied for the entire three days.

Narvik is renowned in the skiing community for both its resorts and its accommodating landscape. Storied athletes have trained on these slopes, along with a series of competitions and events to show off the world-class conditions. Common objectives include steep couloirs, high and open runs, glacier traverses, and high-quality tree skiing. There is definitely something for everyone on this program!

Our stay at Narvik Mountain Lodge will enhance our experience. Meals will be included, and we can ski in and out into whichever adventure we decide to take for the day. The location even allows ambitious ski touring groups to head into Sweden’s Lapland for plateau skiing on the inland mountains.

I am passionate about providing a safe and satisfying environment for my programs. You should have a general fitness level and enough experience and awareness to handle three days in Norwegian backcountry. Avalanche safety is a top priority, and weather can change in an instant. As long as you are prepared and ready, this will certainly go down as one of the best ski trips of your life!

Are you ready? Then book the ski touring program you have always wanted NOW and experience the exhilarating Arctic terrain of Narvik and the diverse Norwegian landscape!

We can always extend our Narvik trip and make this jaw-dropping ski touring program last five days!

Mountain Guide

I was born and raised in the town of Narvik in northern Norway. As the case has been with generations of norwegians, my parents took me with them on trips into nature and up on the mountains even before I was able to walk by myself. When I was able to stand up, my father bought me my first pair of slalom skis and we went skiing in the slopes on the local resorts. From there, the love of nature and the mountains has continuously grown and eventually evolved into a wish to bring others and let them experience and explore together with me.

Today nature and the mountains are my "office", where I work all year round with guiding, as an instructor and tutor on different courses and as an observer for the avalanche forecasting service. Over the years I have worked and guided all over Norway, but it is the north that is home and here I spent most of my time. So come with me into nature and up on the mountains and explore the wild nature of northern Norway. Skitours in Narvik and Lyngen or climbs to Norway's national mountain of Stetind are just some of the adventures I can offer you, but the mountains up here in the north are almost limitless in abundance and possibilities.

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!

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.

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.

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.
