Ski mountaineering and couloir skiing in the Lofoten Islands | Norway with a mountain guide
We are looking for adventure: together we climb over airy ridges and ride through spectacular couloirs directly down to the sea. On the way, we enjoy the unique contrast of snow-white mountains, steep rock faces and the deep blue ocean.
In the evening, we end the day in a relaxed atmosphere with a sauna session and a refreshing dip in the cold fjord, just like the Vikings once did.

Lofoten Couloir Version
Together we experience an impressive week in the Lofoten Islands, with fantastic ski tours, exciting couloirs and breathtaking views. Our home is a cosy rorbu right by the sea. The perfect starting point for varied ski tours in the spectacular island mountains. The Lofoten Islands are known for their striking peaks, clear lines and the unique contrast of snow-white mountains and deep blue North Sea. Here we find ideal conditions for enjoyable ski mountaineering and impressive descents. Many tours begin in a relaxed manner through sparse birch forests before continuing up into open, alpine terrain. There, couloir-like gullies and steeper flanks await, which - depending on ability and conditions - make for exciting descents. Thanks to the versatility of the region, we can find a suitable tour for almost any avalanche situation, from moderate ascents to steeper, easily visible couloirs. A special highlight is our excursion with the RIB boat: we reach remote valleys and untracked slopes far away from the hustle and bustle - often all to ourselves. We discover the wild beauty of the Lofoten Islands step by step, with plenty of time for safe decisions, intense summit moments and unforgettable descents. In the evening, we enjoy the peace and quiet in our secluded bay, perfect for watching the Northern Lights and relaxing together. If you fancy a bit of culture, you can visit the charming towns of Svolvær or Henningsvær, with their cafés, lively fishing tradition and Nordic flair.
Procedure and meeting place
The organised trip is from Saturday to Saturday from and to Evens-Harstad-Narvik Airport (EVE). 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 the time together in our beautiful home.
We fly from Zurich to Evens-Harstad-Narvik. The flight is not included in the trip and must be organised by yourself. There is a direct Swiss flight, which we recommend travelling on. Of course you can also use another flight or arrive earlier. We will meet at the latest after the arrival of the direct flight at the airport in Evenes. We will continue to Kalle, south of Svolvaer, by hire car. The journey takes around 4 hours, which we shorten with a visit to a good and nice restaurant.
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.
On one of the days, a boat trip through the fjords and a ski tour in one of the remote areasOn the last day we will travel back together to the airport in Harstad/Narvik and take the flight back to Zurich. Of course you can also stay longer in Norway.
