Description

Would you like to splitboard across terrains so remote, you and your board might be the first ones to reach? If so, this trip in Narvik, the northernmost city in Nordland, Norway, is what you are looking for!

Narvik lies at the bottom of the Ofotfjorden and it’s a true winter paradise. Here you’ll find the most but dazzling glaciers, majestic lakes, rivers and waterfalls, remote islands, deep valleys, stunning mountain plateaus and magnificent peaks.

The itinerary of this trip is open. So you can join me for a single day of splitboarding, or multiple ones exploring this amazing place. Thus, you’ll get to decide where you want to go, based on your skills and desires.

Narvik offers everything, from large open slopes to steep couloirs and glaciers, and thrilling tree lines. Also, you can enjoy hypnotizing runs along the coastline, mixing mountainous sceneries with mesmerizing views of the water. Moreover, the mountain plateaus we can visit, along side with the enchanting valleys and glaciers, will make this trip a must stop for anybody in search for the best splitboarding terrains. And all the mountains here are accessible by car, boat or even train.

Since you’ll be venturing into wild areas, some will be in a potential avalanche prone terrain. Hence, one of my goals will be to ensure we follow all the measures necessary to ensure your safety.

To join this splitboarding trip you should have previous experience, and a good fitness level, since we will venture across terrains that range 1,000 to 2,000 meters. The tour is suitable for intermediate and advance level snowboarders.

So stay away from the crowds at a typical ski resort! And join me on this winter adventure across the mountains in Narvik!

Mountain Guide

I was born and raised in the town of Narvik in northern Norway. As the case has been with generations of norwegians, my parents took me with them on trips into nature and up on the mountains even before I was able to walk by myself. When I was able to stand up, my father bought me my first pair of slalom skis and we went skiing in the slopes on the local resorts. From there, the love of nature and the mountains has continuously grown and eventually evolved into a wish to bring others and let them experience and explore together with me.

Today nature and the mountains are my "office", where I work all year round with guiding, as an instructor and tutor on different courses and as an observer for the avalanche forecasting service. Over the years I have worked and guided all over Norway, but it is the north that is home and here I spent most of my time. So come with me into nature and up on the mountains and explore the wild nature of northern Norway. Skitours in Narvik and Lyngen or climbs to Norway's national mountain of Stetind are just some of the adventures I can offer you, but the mountains up here in the north are almost limitless in abundance and possibilities.

I completely missed this trip by one month due to my fault but exacerbated by your booking system. I must have filled in the booking form about 10 times before the dates were 'correct' and I was not being charged for more than one day. Every time I tried to make changes, the form refreshed and all the details had to be filled in again. These sorts of trips/events are not like booking train tickets. Most include a window of opportunity that is heavily influenced by weather events. Your communication flow requires a booking to be made and paid before there is any connection with the guide or discussion about suitable days etc. I realise that your company is a booking agency that is concerned about introducing two parties but missing out on the management fee however I feel the system requires a more nuanced approach.

As Marius and I discovered, Svolvaergeita is currently off limits to climbing until the approach has been restored. Not sure when people will be able to access the mountain again but Marius and I are looking at other possible climbing options next week in Narvik. Jim
