Most renowned for its world-class rock climbing, the Lofoten Islands are becoming an increasingly popular splitboarding destination as well!
And for good reason. There is plenty of pristine powder, loads of different types of terrains to explore and absolutely gorgeous scenery all around.
Join me for an unforgettable week of sampling some of the top splitboarding spots here. We’ll explore different touring options on all of the islands, but mainly focus our sights on the eastern island of Austvagoya.
The goal will be to make roughly two ascents and descents each day. These will generally be of moderate difficulty and if you’re looking for an easier day, you can always opt out of the second ascent.
As we go, we will be blessed by the astounding scenery all around us. Mountain, sea and fjords will be everywhere we go and we will be more likely than not able to splitboard down from the summit of a mountain all they way to the sea.
You can do that few places anywhere, so enjoy!
When you are not splitboarding, feel free to explore the town of Lofoten. The old fishing village boats unique architecture, which we will enjoy as we stay in Rorbu-style fishing cabins, and a quaint feeling that you will not be able to match in most other popular splitboarding destinations.
There will even be the chance to see the Northern Lights after the sun has set each day! The lights are still visible in March, although less common than earlier on in the winter.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for an incredible one-week splitboarding adventure in the stunning scenery of the lovely Lofoten Islands!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my one-week ski touring program in Senja, near Tromsø!
Accommodation Twin-share accommodation in beautiful fjord side rorbu-style houses. |
More info Be sure to bring your own splitboarding equipment as it is not guaranteed that you will be able to rent any equipment here. |
Meeting point The Harstad/Narvik airport. |
I divide my time between working overseas as an off piste ski and splitboard guide in the winter, doing some Alpine guiding in the summer, and teaching rock climbing and other mountain skills from home in North Wales, UK during the rest of the time.
I started rock climbing aged 14, and since then I've skied, climbed and snowboarded in many parts of the world. My experience includes everything from high altitude mountaineering and ski touring in remote places to sunny rock climbing in familiar surroundings on the doorstep.
I started my guiding working as a UK qualified mountaineering instructor (MIC) and then qualified as a UIAGM after that.
I spent a number of years living and working full time as a mountain guide in the Alps, based in the Chamonix valley, and now I divide my time between the UK, the Alps and other places around the world, particularly Norway and Iceland.
I am a regular trainer and assessor of UK mountaineering instructor awards, and I am a trainer for the British Mountain Guides. I'm also a qualified teacher in Outdoor Education.

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 !"
