I invite you to an exciting ski touring course in Norway, learning how to ski safely in the wild mountains, far away from the crowds.
This is an ideal opportunity for skiers with wide experience riding on piste and off piste in ski resorts.
We’ll be ski touring in different areas of Norway, such as Sunnmøre, Sogn, Hemsedal, West Jonunheimen and Haukeli.
I am professional IFMGA mountain guide and will be helping you to develop a solid experience in ski touring. This includes knowing how to manage at avalanche risk, improving your technique, learning pre-planning methods and how to rescue someone from an avalanche.
Besides, I’ll give you all the information regarding equipment, clothes and devices you’ll need for ski touring.
There’ll be classes with slideshows first, and then we’ll go to the mountain! In fact, there are many ski tours in the program, so that you can practice everything you learn.
Furthermore, this course will take place in an outstanding mountain region of Norway, surrounded by beautiful peaks. This unique natural environment will turn your trip into an unforgettable experience.

I am a fully certified IFMGA guide since 2012. I have, however, mastered my climbing and skiing skills for many years before taking up guiding. I have participated in numerous climbing expeditions not only to the wild mountains of Caucasus (which I have gotten to know pretty well), but also to Nepal, Alps and have extensively climbed in many Norwegian areas. In recent years I have been resident in Norway, and I co-operate with my friends at Lyngen Outdoor Center as their chief mountain guide.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
