Description
Experience the thrill of a remote Arctic ski touring adventure as you traverse from the dramatic fjords of Narvik in northern Norway to the vast inland mountains of Swedish Lapland! This four-day program follows the historic Iron Ore Railway and offers a unique combination of spectacular landscapes, varied terrain, and the comfort of remote mountain cabins.
Starting in Narvik, a town known for its strategic role in transporting iron ore and its stunning fjord setting, this ski traverse takes you across the border into Sweden through wild, dramatic, and remote terrain. The journey blends ski touring and scenic train travel, hopping on and off the railway to reach the best snow conditions and mountain objectives along the way.
Each day brings new terrain: summit views over the Rombaken fjord, glacial valleys, wide alpine bowls, and untouched descents into isolated areas. At night, you’ll stay in cozy huts and mountain lodges — enjoying hot saunas, hearty meals, and the camaraderie of your group in authentic Arctic settings.
This program is perfect for experienced ski tourers looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure. The route and pace are adapted to snow and avalanche conditions, and to the group’s preferences. While the days are active, the nights offer a chance to relax and recharge in some of the most scenic accommodations in the region — including a final night at the legendary Låktatjåkko Mountain Lodge.
You’ll need a good fitness level and previous ski touring experience to join this tour. Avalanche safety gear is mandatory (can be rented), and weather conditions can change quickly in this remote environment.
Are you ready? Then book your spot now and join us for this unforgettable ski traverse across Norway and Sweden — a true Arctic experience unlike any other!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
