Which Areas Are Best for Ski Touring in Norway ๐ค๐ฟ
|
Norway has lots of magical spots to ski, but where you'll most probably find me on the slopes this winter is either Lofoten Islands, Lyngen Alps or Sunmรธre Alps.
|
๐ The answer is simple - coastal skiing with routes ending right at the water (and you can go on a ski and sailing trip too!) The Lofoten Islands are a ski tourerโs paradise, nestled in Northern Norway, Lofoten has something for everyone, with routes suited for all skill levels.
Skill Level: Beginner to advanced
Highlights: Coastal ski routes, diverse terrain, and optional sailing experience
Accommodation: Sailboat or local cabins
