Description

Take on the incomparable terrain of Narvik in northern Norway and spend five days inside the Arctic Circle! Skiing in and out of the Narvik Mountain Lodge, this five-day ski touring program shows you the best of the Nordland and places you in some of the best skiing conditions on Earth!

Narvik is notorious for its wide array of ski terrain and accessibility throughout Scandinavia. It served as a crucial northern port over the course of time, a key player in Swedish iron ore extraction in the 19th and 20th centuries. Now it provides a hub and jumping-off point for amazing adventures into the surrounding countryside, which extends from the northern Norwegian coast all the way into Swedish Lapland.

The landscape is a playground for backcountry skiers and ski tour aficionados, with glacier traverses, wide open slopes, tree-lined runs, and exhilarating high ridges. The remote location and relatively low population mean untouched snow for ski pioneers who want an experience unlike any other in the world.

This is where you come in! On this outstanding five-day ski touring program, you will immerse yourself in Narvik’s snow culture. The regional resorts have hosted major events and competitions. The landscape includes moderate altitude objectives within 1,000- to 2,000-meter mountains of the Scandinavian Range. If you are a seasoned veteran looking for the ultimate challenge, the plateaus of Sweden’s inland mountains aren’t too far away, either.

The program is centered around the Narvik Mounatin Lodge. The accommodating chalet allows you to ski in and out into whatever adventure you want to get yourself into for the day. We can enjoy the remarkable fjords iconic of Norway, deep valleys, meandering rivers, impressive waterfalls, and so much more! With five days to cover, we can experience every inch of life-changing snow the region has to offer.

You should have a high fitness level and be a proficient skier for this program. I am dedicated to providing a safe and fulfilling ski environment for all participants. I want to instill the passion that I have for this Arctic wonderland on all who experience it with me. You will remember this program long after you leave Narvik.

Stop waiting and start BOOKING this incredible ski touring program and spend five days learning why Norway is one of the best places for high quality skiing in the world!

If time is of the essence, we can cut this trip down to a three-day program in the same delightful terrain of Narvik!

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!

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.

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.
