Lodging and Itinerary

You will fly into Tromsø via Oslo & be transferred directly to the boat which will be your home for the next 7 nights. The professional skipper will then take you into the fjords to the first destination. For more info on the boat, see the Lodging tab.

Every trip is unique and ski lines are chosen based on group requirements, weather and sailing conditions. You can expect to sail during the evenings, sleep and have breakfast on the boat, ski-tour from the morning, having spectacular snacks at the top & glorious skiing back to the boat. You will taste local fish, try a Norwegian sauna &/or an arctic water dip.

On all of previous trips, the northern lights (Aurora Borealis) have been seen, so you might be equally lucky.

Late lunch & dinner take place on the boat. Evenings are dedicated to sailing to our new destination. See the full program via the Itinerary tab.

Guiding & Equipment

The tour is operated by UIAGM qualified mountain guides at a maximum ratio of 7 guests to 1 guide. There will be 2 groups so you can choose between faster & slower one.

You will need to bring all your own ski touring & splitboard equipment including your own avalanche safety gear (beacon, probe, and shovel) plus an avalanche airbag backpack is also recommended, but not mandatory. Some equipment can be rented locally in Tromsø at a nearby rental shop.

Ability & Fitness Level
