More Info
Situated just above the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands have long been a hotspot for summertime sports such as mountaineering and rock climbing. However, that is beginning to change as more and more people discover how much there is to see on a pair of backcountry skis.
An especially popular activity on Lofoten is to head out for a week of sailing and skiing. This allows experienced skiers to see as much of the islands as possible and enjoy some great runs along the way.
Throughout the archipelago and in its surroundings there are also plenty of great mountains to explore on your skis. Among the favourites are Varden (700 meters), Rundfjellet (803 meters), Torksmannen (755 meters), Breitind (672 meters), Kistbergtind (661 meters), Trosadelen (996 meters). Each provides incredible views and even better skiing!
