Ski touring experience in Lapland: best of North Norway

Join me for 7 days of ski touring in Lapland, one of the northernmost destinations in Europe.

Lapland is a fascinating and wild region that extends along the northern parts of several countries: Norway, Finland, Sweden and Russia. 

During this trip we’ll explore some of the best ski spots in the Norwegian Lapland.

Being at the cost of North Norway during the second half of April is probably one of the best places to be as a backcountry skier.

This trip combines spectacular ski touring at the Lyngen Peninsula with touring in the inland.

We’ll also find good snow in Tamokdalen, a very popular area among Nordic freeriders. Here, there are skiable birch forests and even an unofficial world championship of “tree-riding”. The rules are simple: the start is in the timber line and the first one to get down to the valley wins!

Besides, we’ll go to the border area between Norway, Finland and Sweden. This will bring a touch of Lapland mystique to the tour! In fact, the program includes a snowmobile-assisted ski touring from Finland to Sweden.

During the rest of the week, we’ll move flexibly according to the weather conditions, so we can make the best of our trip!

It’s important to point out that this program is designed for skiers that already have some ski touring experience. However, you don’t need to be an expert. Essentially, you need to be able to ski in slopes with 35 degrees of inclination. Furthermore, you should be in a good physical condition. There will be five-hour climbs and the total touring time per day will be of eight hours in a moderate pace.

Please, feel free to ask me any questions about this trip and contact me if you want to join me! I’ll be happy to be your guide for a week of ski touring in such an amazing destination.
