Description

Discover the best and most remote corners of the Norwegian fjords based on Qilak,  our comfortable 66-foot aluminium sailing vessel!

We have the advantage of flexibility, so we can choose among several of the amazing options Norway has to offer for ski touring enthusiasts. Depending on your arrival airport, we can go to north Lofoten or Senja, The Lyngen Alps, or Bodo and surroundings.

This program is ideal either if you are a skier looking for a stunning and endless playground to ski on your own, or if you are looking for a guide to show you around and help you discover the region.

The guiding is not included in this program, but we work together with Marius and other local IFMGA guides, so we can help you book their guiding service for the time you’ll be staying on Qilak.

The boat has a capacity for 8 guests and is built especially for the polar regions. This means it’s designed to reach places that are inaccessible to larger ships, and with all the comfort needed to relax after your skiing day.

This is what a day on board of Qilak looks like: we drop you off at the foot of the natural reliefs, in the heart of fjords that are difficult to reach by land. You spend the day enjoying some of the finest ski touring you’ll ever experience, skiing from summit to sea either if you are on your own or with a guide. And when you are back to the vessel, we will be waiting for you. All you have to do is take a hot shower or use the sauna to relax before a delicious meal. The next day, another great day awaits you, to continue exploring all the richness of the Nordic fjords.

So if you want to experience an unforgettable ski tour, with all the comfort Qilak has to offer, send us a request! We will be happy to help you discover one of the most fascinating corners in the world.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
