Description

Cruising untouched powder snow and sailing along the magical islands of the Lofoten is an experience of a lifetime.

Join me on this 7-day ski touring and sailing tour and discover this fascinating world class skiing destination in Norway.

Lofoten is an archipelago located at latitude 68º north along Northern Norway's most spectacular coastline. It's north of the Arctic Circle and it is  truly unique in terms of culture, access and climate.

Travelling by sailboat with the view of the the majestic mountains rising from the sea is definitely an unforgettable experience. Every day we will sail to a new spot, in a perfectly equipped 80-foot sailing yacht. Sailing is a fantastic way of getting closer to wildlife, nature and the best untouched powder snow.

The conditions and weather can rapidly change here. As a local guide, I have the best knowledge of Lofoten. It allows me to offer a flexible program, ensuring your safety at the same time.

Besides, our captain and crew on board have good local knowledge and wide international experience. I guarantee this will be a sailing trip you will not forget!

I will plan all our tours and choose our daily destination according to where we find the best conditions in the area. After a good breakfast, we will organise our equipment and get out to chase the powder.

Most of the peaks we will climb start at the beach and are between 750-1100 m. Every day, the round trip will take us approx. 6 to 8 hours. We will enjoy the fascinating views and the great ski tours in the mountains. Back on the boat again, it will be time for chilling, dinner, fishing and sailing. And, of course, to plan the next day’s skiing destination.

Besides, Lofoten is a historical place in Norway. It has several picturesque fishing villages that carry on the ancient tradition of Lofotfiske (cod fishing). There are 5000 year old caves, with traces from the Vikings and Sami, who also lived here and sailed these same waters.

As for accommodation, Skydancer, a 73’ Polar Expedition Sailing Boat, will be the perfect and comfortable base for our adventure. You can check the details of this fantastic and well equipped boat below this description.

Please note that I only organise private sailing and skiing trips. But if you are looking to join a group in Lofoten, you can check the 6-day ski touring trip I guide here, staying at a wonderful ski lodge.

Feel free to contact me if you want to join me on this fantastic ski touring trip. I'll be happy to welcome you in this paradise for backcountry skiing and nature lovers.
