Lofoten Ski Lodge is a pleasure for all senses and takes service to the next level. While other resorts or hotels have to mobilise a whole lot of service to make their guests feel comfortable, Seth and his crew have a unique way of creating a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel looked after and taken care of. Thank you for another great weekend!

Beautiful location, high quality food, lovely staff, awesome mountains and skilled guides. Can\'t ask for more! Expect one of the best ski touring trips of your life!
While they continue to grow in popularity, the Lofoten Islands are still not as popular a backcountry destination as other Eutopean hotspots. Take advantage of this and strike out into the backcountry without being disturbed. No waiting in line and plenty of unspoiled powder awaits.

What’s the weather like?
In March, the weather starts to get sunnier in Lofoten with fewer cloudy days, although there is still plenty of snow on the ground. The temperatures also get a bit warmer with daily averages reaching around -2ºC to 5ºC
How to get there:
Most trips to Lofoten will begin with a flight into the Harstad/Narvik Airport (EVE), which can be reached directly from Stockholm and Oslo. Many guides will opt to meet you at the airport, but it is also possible to get to the islands via ferry and bus or by rental car
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!
I completely missed this trip by one month due to my fault but exacerbated by your booking system. I must have filled in the booking form about 10 times before the dates were \'correct\' and I was not being charged for more than one day. Every time I tried to make changes, the form refreshed and all the details had to be filled in again. These sorts of trips/events are not like booking train tickets. Most include a window of opportunity that is heavily influenced by weather events. Your communication flow requires a booking to be made and paid before there is any connection with the guide or discussion about suitable days etc. I realise that your company is a booking agency that is concerned about introducing two parties but missing out on the management fee however I feel the system requires a more nuanced approach.
