I have climbed and skied all my life but started working as a guide in 2009. I became a fully-qualified IFMGA guide in 2012. I'm based in Herjangen (just north of Narvik in Ofoten, Nordland, Norway) and have been skiing in this area for over two decades. I guide all over the world but prefer to be home in Trollviken! My goal is to share my knowledge and my love for these mountains to increase your skills. I used to be an investment banking executive but I'm a lot better now!

What people are saying about {{text}}

Stetind (1391 meters) is **Norway's national mountain** for a very good reason. Located in the northern region of Nordland, it is the most stunning peak in the country and a favorite among climbers!

The normal route to the summit is **not technically difficult but quite exposed**, so it is key to attempt the ascent in the company of a professional mountain guide. I'll keep you safe all the way!

Starting from the parking lot, the climb takes between 10 and 14 hours. Take into account that the ascent is quite demanding and, therefore, requires a very good fitness level.

First, we'll hike for about 3 hours to the Halls pre-summit. From there, we will tie into ropes and climb for about 2 hours to reach the Stetind summit. Finally, the descent takes about the same time. We'll make sure to take it easy during the climb because the main goal is to enjoy the day!

I can take you on this Stetind ascent every day from **July to September**, in groups of 2 or 3 people. We will meet at the parking lot or we may arrange to pick you at Narvik.

There are several accommodation options in town. From camping sites to 4 star hotels, you can choose the best option for you and your group. Let me know if you need advice on where to stay!

If you are vising Nordland during the winter, make sure you take a look at some of my other programs. For example, you could check out my [**off-piste skiing day in Narvik**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/off-piste-skiing-day-narvik-norway/)**.**

So contact me now and come climb Norway's most emblematic mountain. It is a great way to get to know this beautiful and remote corner of the world!

Guided Stetind ascent in northern Norway

**This Narvik ski touring week is ski touring the way it should be!** Indeed, if you’re looking to experience genuine mountain culture in the middle of Scandinavia’s best ski touring area, this is the program for you!

We will be staying at **Trollviken Lodge** by the **Ofotfjord** in **Norway**. My partner and I own and operate it.

From the lodge, hundreds of amazing ski touring summits are within reach. We’ll ski down some **amazing slopes that run all the way down to the sea**. Furthermore, you won’t find the crowds of neighbouring areas like **Lofoten** or **Lyngen**! **Thus, it will be your own private paradise!**

From the lodge, we’ll discover a different summit every day. In the evening, we’ll go for **a sauna and also a swim in the fjord** right before dinner. Then, we enjoy a good meal and sleep comfortably to the waves’ smooth rhythm. On the other side of the fjord, we’ll appreciate the **Narvik** lights reflecting on the water.

The lodge is strategically located on the north side of **Ofotfjord**. It is only 30 minutes from **Evenes (Narvik Airport)**.

**Join me on this incredible Narvik ski touring week. It is an experience no ski touring fan should miss out on. So contact me now!**

Arrival day. We pick you up at the airport. The easiest is to fly to Evenes airport (also called Harstad / Narvik Airport).Drive to Trollviken in half an hour. We go through the equipment, talk about avalanche safety and do some avalanche training.

Arrival

Drive to our “home mountain” Spanstind. I has a great view of the fjord from the summit and offers many opportunities to ski down. Spanstind is 1,460 meters above sea level. We ‘ll be home in time for a sauna before dinner.

Spanstind

We drive a little further out towards Tjeldsundet and climb Strandtinden. Wonderful views out to the Vest Fjord and really good snow.

Tjeldsundet

This day is more challenging. Today we go to Rombackstötta across the fjord. The skiing down is often on fine powder.

Rombackstötta

Climbing and skiing at one of our favorite spots: in Gratangen. We start in the nice village Foldvik and climb up Nonsfjellet.

Gratangen

A long day but we are rewarded with views in all directions! Looking north towards Andröja, Rolla and Senja. To the west, we see the Lofoten Islands and Vestervålen.

Today we drive to the best Nordic ski mountain with lift – Narvikfjellet. 3000 vertical meters with downhill skiing in wonderful terrain.
