Ski mountaineering and couloir skiing in the Lofoten Islands | Norway with a mountain guide

• Procedure and meeting place

  Together we will travel to and through the Lofoten Islands. We go on unique ski tours and immerse ourselves in the breathtaking mountain world with its steep rock faces and the glittering sea. We spend the night in a beautiful rorbu and enjoy our time together in our beautiful home.

  • Day 1

    15:30 Evens-Harstad-Narvik (EVE)

    We travel from Zurich by direct flight to Evens-Harstad-Narvik (EVE). We continue by hire car to Kalle, south of Svolvaer. The journey takes around 4 hours, which we shorten with a visit to a good and nice restaurant.

  • Day 2 - 7

    Every day we go on ski tours in a unique environment, the tours are shorter or longer depending on the weather and conditions. We reach our starting points with the hire vehicles and see a lot of the island landscape, so sightseeing is also part of the trip. The tours are guaranteed to be wonderful and leave us amazed. Every day we enjoy the sauna and the quiet fjord in front of our accommodation.

    Depending on the wishes of the group, we eat more or less in restaurants.
