Which Areas Are Best for Ski Touring in Norway ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŽฟ

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.

โ“Why Lofoten Islands? 

๐Ÿ‘‰ 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 tourerโ€™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

โ“Why the Lyngen Alps? 

๐Ÿ‘‰ Answer: Because I like me a challenge ๐Ÿ’ช And if you do too, then this one's for you ๐Ÿ˜‰ (hah! that rhymed!) 

 

๐ŸŽฟ Think steep mountain vibes with dramatic peaks and fjord views.  Youโ€™ll also get to check out local Norwegian villages, which adds a nice cultural touch to the trip. If this sounds fun, consider our 8-day ski touring trip with Mapo Tapo!
