Highlights

  • Explore one of Norway’s most extraordinary ski destinations: the Lofoten Islands

  • Stay in authentic rorbuer—traditional, well-equipped fishermen’s cabins full of charm and comfort

Description

One of the most exotic skiing destinations we can find in Norway are the Lofoten Islands: amazing sunsets, magical aurora borealis, skiing to the very edge of the sea, incredible fjords and majestic mountains!

Once known primarily for their fishing heritage, the Lofoten Islands boast a truly unique terrain—low-lying mountains ranging from 600 to 1,200 meters that rise abruptly into towering sea cliffs.

While not towering in height, these peaks offer outstanding skiing potential. Each day brings a new route, often starting right from sea level, with an incredible variety of options suited to all skill levels—from gentle ascents for soaking in the scenery to steeper, more technical descents that will thrill even the most experienced freeriders.

Throughout our 8-day journey, we’ll stay in traditional rorbuer—cozy, well-equipped fishermen’s cabins nestled along the coast. These charming lodges offer comfort and character, providing the perfect base to unwind after a day on the snow in this spectacular arctic setting.

So if you are ready for this amazing trip in the Lofoten Islands, request to book this trip!
