Mapo Tapo Newsletter #11

I know I’m not the only one who's obsessed with skiing in this beautiful country! 🇳🇴 😆 That's why I've put together a series of newsletters that dives deep into the wonders of Norway’s ski touring scene. Think of it as my personal research notes, filled with tips that you won’t want to overlook! 😉

 

We'll go together through top skiing spots, essential apps and other useful tips on safety, accommodation and transport .. did I spark your curiosity already? 👀

 

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 Sunmøre Alps.

👉 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 tourer’s 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
