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 that rise from sea level!
My invitation is to discover this magical place by skiing the different amazing peaks that can be found here. In terms of technical difficulty and depending on participants’ wishes, we will choose which mountains to ski every day: Varden (700 mt), Stortind (731 mt), Rundfjellet (803 mt), Torksmannen (755mt), Breitind (672 mt), Kistbergtind (661 mt), Trosadelen (996 mt), … and more!
Every morning we will have breakfast at 8:30 and leave in our vehicle to the chosen area for that day. We will start ascending at less than 100 meters of altitude, in many cases a few meters from the shore of some fjords and always with the sea in the background!
We will meet at the Oslo airport. Once we arrive to the Lofoten Islands, participants will get transported to the beautiful town of Henningsvaer to the comfortable fishing huts where we will be staying all week. After a long day of ski, nothing better than to rest and enjoy the typical Norwegian food made by the hands of a local chef!
If you like, one day we can rent some kayaks and go for a ride in the company of a local guide. And, if you are interested, during our week there will be different workshops of laps, foraging techniques, rowing and more!
So if you are ready for this amazing trip in the Lofoten Islands, request to book this trip!
Itinerary
Day 1: Meeting point in Oslo airport
– Meeting at the airport in Oslo, we check in luggage and pick up the vehicle and go to Henningsvaer where we will stay in beautiful cabins near the port. This will be our base camp throughout the week.
– Breaffing of what will be the week, the expected weather and conditions.
– Preparation for the next day’s departure.
– Dinner at the restaurant and rest.
Day 2 to 6: Skiing in the different amazing peaks of the Lofoten Islands!
These days will all have a similar operation, breakfast at 8.30, leave to the chosen area and be back at 5:00 pm.
We will choose ascents depending on the weather conditions. There we have more than twenty mountains less than an hour’s drive, all of them with slopes of less than 1000 meters, so we can make different combinations and peaks each day depending on our wishes.
In all of them there is a curious factor in common, we will start the activity at less than 100 meters of altitude and in many cases a few meters from the shore of some fjords, and always with the sea in the background!
Day 7: Last day!
– The logistics of this last day will depend on the flight schedules to Oslo.
– Breakfast at 7 a.m.
– 8 a.m. departure to the airport

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
