Join me for this epic, 1-week cross-country skiing expedition in the pristine beauty of western Norway!
For the first part of the week, we will go over all the necessary skills to safely and successfully cross-country ski in such a cold and potentially dangerous landscape.
Along the way we will also try our hands at ice climbing a frozen waterfall and even spend a day racing along the tundra on dog sleds. When we are not honing our winter sports skills, you will have plenty of time to explore the quaint and idyllic town of Hovden. We will even spend one day in the spa, relaxing after a day out on the hills.
For the last two days, we will go out on an overnight expedition. Weather permitting, we will spend the night in a snow hole at 2.400 meters above sea level. Here we will have an excellent chance to see the northern lights!
By the time our trip is over, you will have received a taste of several different winter sports and hopefully had the chance to take in the majestic northern lights. Whatever the case, this will surely leave you yearning to book another nordic adventure soon.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this eclectic and exciting 1-week cross-country skiing expedition in the breathtaking western Norwegian wilderness!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 1-week hiking expedition in the Dolomites!

We will determine our full itinerary depending on the weather and your level of skill.

I am a member of the British Association of Mountain Leaders and the owner of Mountain Energy, the guiding company I run with my wife, which has been in operation since 2009.
We started by offering summer and winter expeditions in the UK but then moved on to Europe and Africa in 2010. My work has taken me all over the world, including Peru, Bolivia, Lesotho, South Africa and Morocco.
Apart from holding an International Mountain Leader certification (IML), I am also certified as a Winter Mountain Leader. In 2008, I was awarded the Life Saving Medal of the Order of St. John after participating in a rescue expedition in the Pyrenees.
At Mountain Energy we offer a select number of programs that we have been guiding for years and know well. Join us for a truly unique experience!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
